SUMMARY:NOTRE-DAME DE PARIS - Before the Fire: The Construction and History of Notre-Dame de Paris with Russell Kelley\, author of The Making of Paris (in English)
DESCRIPTION:NOTRE-DAME DE PARIS – Before the Fire: The Construction and History of Notre-Dame de Paris with Russell Kelley\, author of The Making of Paris\n(in English) \nIn partnership with the Alliance Française Miami Metro\, the Alliance Française de Chicago\, and the Friends of Notre-Dame de Paris\nThis event begins at 10am PT / 11am MT / 12pm CT / 1pm ET and will be IN ENGLISH \nThis illustrated lecture will explore the long and eventful history of the Cathedral of Notre-Dame de Paris\, from its foundation in 1163 to the devastating fire on April 15\, 2019\, which destroyed its attic\, roof\, and iconic spire. \nThe story of Notre-Dame de Paris begins in 1163\, when Bishop Sully laid the first stone on the Île de la Cité\, at the heart of medieval Paris. One of the earliest Gothic cathedrals\, it took 182 years to complete. Over the centuries\, this architectural marvel hosted defining moments in French history\, including the coronation of a young King Henry VI of England\, the marriage of the future Henri IV and Marguerite de Valois\, and the crowning of Napoléon I as Emperor. \nAfter falling into neglect during the Revolution\, Notre-Dame was restored by architect Eugène Viollet-le-Duc\, who added the iconic spire that tragically burned in 2019. \n\n\n\nRussell Kelley is Vice President of the Alliance Française Miami Metro and the author of The Making of Paris: The Story of How Paris Evolved from a Fishing Village into the World’s Most Beautiful City (Lyons Press\, 2021) and Walking Through the Ages of Paris – Ten Historical Walking Tours Through the City of Light (Lyons Press\, to be published in 2026). He has lived in Paris for over 30 years – and next to Notre-Dame for the past 20 years – and attended the first mass celebrated in the rebuilt cathedral on December 8\, 2024.

DESCRIPTION:Notre-Dame – After the Fire: La Restauration de Notre-Dame de Paris\nwith Philippe Villeneuve\, Chief Architect of Historical Monuments and Lead Architect for Notre-Dame Cathedral\n(in French with English or French captions)\nIn partnership with the Alliance Française Miami Metro\, the Alliance Française de Chicago\, and the Friends of Notre-Dame de Paris\nThis event begins at 10am PT / 11am MT / 12pm CT / 1pm ET and will be EN FRANÇAIS. \nThis lecture will provide a behind-the-scenes look at one of the most significant architectural restoration projects of our time\, describing the painstaking process behind the meticulous rebuilding and restoration of the cathedral\, from the careful documentation of architectural elements to the revival of centuries-old craftsmanship techniques. \nThanks to global donations and the work of dedicated craftsmen\, the extensive fire damage was repaired in record time\, and the rebuilt cathedral reopened almost exactly one year ago\, ready to reclaim its place as a symbol of Paris and French heritage. \nBut wait: There is still more work to be done. The lecture will conclude with the restoration works unrelated to the damage caused by the 2019 fire that will continue for the next five years. \nThis talk will be conducted in French.
