French President Emmanuel Macron has set a deadline of 2024 to reopen Paris’s Notre-Dame Cathedral to worshippers and visitors. FRANCE 24's Revisited show is following the progress of this ambitious project and brings you a fresh update, three years after the devastating fire that badly damaged the world-famous cathedral. Our reporter Mélina Huet met those who are involved in the restoration work, both inside the mediaeval edifice and elsewhere in France. They now find themselves in a race against time.
A video released by the Paris fire brigade shows firemen putting out a fire in a 4,000 sq m warehouse in Aubervilliers, on the outskirts of Paris, used to store antiques and fabrics. No one was injured in the blaze, said the fire brigade.

The rector of Paris' Notre-Dame Cathedral told Euronews that he felt "hopeful" that the reconstruction was still on track despite delays due to COVID and lead contamination.
