French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte visited before the reopening to view a new reliquary for the Crown of Thorns created by Sylvain Dubuisson. This shrine is made from cedar wood similar to that saved from the fire. On December 13, the Crown of Thorns will be returned during a special ceremony.
The grand organ with 8,000 pipes had been dismantled for cleaning due to lead dust contamination after the collapse of the roof. Meanwhile, stained-glass rose windows survived but required thorough cleaning.
A bell used during the Paris Olympic Games was placed in one of Notre Dame's bell towers ahead of reopening. However, these towers remain closed until further notice as per information from Paris' tourist office.
Although visitors can now access Notre Dame's interior again, scaffolding remains outside as restoration continues on facades and flying buttresses using funds raised after the fire amounting nearly 1 billion euros (about $1.06 billion).
Following opening weekend events are planned at Notre Dame such as welcoming local merchants/residents (December 11), celebrating Feast Of Our Lady Of Guadalupe (December 12) alongside returning Crown Of Thorns event mentioned earlier; most being invitation-only yet public access allowed between afternoons/evenings from December ninth through fifteenth before resuming normal hours starting December
