The Île de la Cité - the small island in the River Seine that is home to Notre Dame - will be closed to tourists and non-residents, with access restricted to invitees and those who live on the island. The star-studded concert took centre stage inside the cathedral in tribute to its resurrection and to those who laboured to restore it, offering a universal message of harmony.
Nearly 170 bishops from France and abroad will attend, alongside priests from all 113 parishes of the Paris diocese. The vote followed months of political gridlock after snap elections, with calls from opposition forces now growing louder for Macron to resign.
