For President Metsola, the occasion was special as she described as “a historic moment to witness the majestic Cathedral rise proudly again from the ashes after an impressive French restoration.”
The Maltese Member of the European Parliament, who was representing the EU Parliament at the event, spoke about the artistic combination of not only religion and history that sits at the heart of Notre Dame, but most importantly its cultural and historical importance to Europe.
The event was a celebratory appreciation of all the individuals who helped on the rebuilding of one of the most iconic symbols of Paris.
