The spire was installed at a construction site in the eastern region of France Grand Est.

The team of masters followed the project of the French architect Eugène Viollet-le-Duc (1814-1879), who is the author of the historical spire of the first half of the XIX century, writes TASS.

Work on the replica lasted several months.

"Soon we will see in the sky over Paris this spire, crowned, as before, with a rooster," he said Army General Jean-Louis Georgelin, who oversees the restoration.

The spire is made of oak wood and covered with lead. It is planned to be installed on top of the cathedral. The opening of Notre-Dame de Paris is expected at the end of 2024.

A major fire in Notre Dame in Paris occurred on April 15, 2019, it lasted more than 12 hours.

The French side invited Russian experts to participate in the restoration work.

At the end of May 2020, the authorities opened the square in front of the cathedral to the public.
