Reinventing the area around Notre-Dame

The area around Notre-Dame Cathedral is set to undergo an ambitious metamorphosis from autumn 2025, with the aim of creating a setting worthy of this iconic monument and offering a new welcome to the millions of visitors who come here every year. With its emphasis on green spaces, including an internal promenade and a new layout for the old car park, the project will strengthen the link between the cathedral and the Seine. This vast project, coordinated with the restoration work on the building, should be largely completed by 2028.
