Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris has received three new bells, including one used during the Paris 2024 Olympics, as part of its restoration following the 2019 fire. The bells, crafted by the Cornille Havard foundry, will be installed above the altar and are set to ring during Mass, marking a significant milestone in the cathedral's reopening on December 8.
