LIVE from Notre Dame de Paris: Michel Picaud in conversation with Tom Rossiter, architect and photographer.
Online • In English

For three years before April 15, 2019, Michel Picaud, president of the Friends of Notre-Dame de Paris foundation, had devoted most of his time raising money to restore the cathedral. That day, he had just made it home when he received the call that Notre-Dame was on fire. He drove back to watch the medieval cathedral, often called the beating heart of Christianity, ravaged by the flames.

We welcome back Michel Picaud to tell us incredible stories of that night, such as how the crown of thorns was saved, and how the restoration of Notre-Dame is challenging even French innovation.
