“The Notre Dame fire three years ago was a moment for all Parisians, for French citizens and for Catholics all over the world an immense emotion we all relive again being here. To see during these three years the progress of the work. This three-year anniversary date corresponds with Good Friday so it’s a bit of a special moment.”

6. SOUNDBITE (French) French president Emmanuel Macron:
“In this period when we are coming out of COVID and with the war in Europe everything is difficult. It’s also a testimony of hope that corresponds to this period and I think that makes a lot of sense, I am the president of a secular republic. Finally, it is Good Friday. It turns out that this religious holiday for Catholics also corresponds to Passover for our Jewish faith compatriots and Ramadan for our Muslim faith compatriots. There is a kind of synchrony.”

STORYLINE:
French President Emmanuel Macron visited Paris’ Notre Dame cathedral on Friday as the country marked the third anniversary of the fire that tore through the famous building.
Macron toured the site where works are being carried out to restore the iconic landmark and spoke to those undertaking the project about their progress so far.
His visit comes just days before Easter and nine days before the second round of presidential elections, in which Macron will challenge far-right candidate Marine Le Pen.
In September, Notre Dame was finally deemed stable and secure enough to start reconstruction from the blaze that tore through its roof and toppled its spire.
Authorities hope to have the cathedral open to visitors and religious services in 2024, the year Paris hosts the Olympics.
