Paris: Notre-Dame Cathedral regains the framework of its nave. The framework of the choir, also collapsed, had already been rebuilt in January.

The spire, rebuilt identically to that of the 19th century architect Viollet-Le-Duc, is also nearing completion. The Minister of Culture Rachida Dati also installed an artistic committee on Friday responsible for appointing the artist and the master glassmaker who will design six contemporary stained glass windows for certain chapels of the cathedral.
