As Paris celebrates the reopening of Notre Dame more than five years after it was destroyed by fire; Annette Young meets some of the women who have restored or rebuilt the historic cathedral.
They talk of the challenges of bringing the 900-year-old building back to life as hundreds of skilled artisans from around the globe worked furiously to meet the December 2024 deadline.
But all three women speak of the deep satisfaction of being involved in the cathedral’s rebirth. Plus, we speak to a medieval historian who reveals that women were also part of the cathedral’s original construction in the Middle Ages.
