HISTORIC BELLS RETURN

Rector of Notre-Dame Cathedral Olivier Ribadeau Dumas blesses one the eight bells of the north belfry of Notre-Dame de Paris cathedral called ‘Marcel’, central Paris. From ‘Gabriel’, weighing over four tonnes, to the smaller ‘Jean-Marie’, named in tribute to Cardinal Lustiger: Notre-Dame de Paris welcomes back the eight bells in its northern belfry, less than three months before the cathedral reopens. — AFP
