Notre Dame Cathedral draws millions of global citizens every year to worship and bask in the history of Paris. On April 15, 2019, during Holy Week, the same millions witnessed the horror of its near destruction by a blazing inferno, its spire atop falling to the ground. Now, one year later, National Geographic\u2019s one-hour special, SAVING NOTRE DAME, reveals the remarkable efforts to rebuild this French symbol of national pride and global iconic landmark. National Geographic cameras were granted exclusive access into the cathedral, just days after the fire, embedding with the fearless workers for over ten months during the rebuilding efforts and capturing the most dangerous rescue and engineering operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
