“The bell donated by the Organizing Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games to the cathedral is a strong symbol and a material heritage of this universal, historic and unifying event which marked the year 2024,” underlines this press release. They will be welcomed on their arrival on the square by Monsignor Oliver Ribadeau Dumas, the rector of Notre-Dame Cathedral, and by Tony Estanguetthe president of the Paris 2024 Organizing Committee.
Notre-Dame specifies that the bells “will be installed in the cathedral” a few hours later, and from the reopening “heard every day, several times a day, by thousands of faithful and visitors from all over the world”.
