The decorated French general in charge of the ambitious, big-budget restoration of fire-ravaged Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris has died
FILE - General Jean-Louis Georgelin who is to oversee reconstruction of Notre Dame Cathedral, attends an interview in front of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, France, Saturday, Sept. 19, 2020. The decorated French general in charge of big-budget restoration work on fire-ravaged Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris has died on Saturday, Aug. 19, 2023. Jean-Louis Georgelin was 74.
Macron said in a statement that Georgelin died in the mountains, reflecting “a life always turned toward the summits.” The statement did not provide details. Soon after the 2019 fire that toppled the spire of Notre Dame and consumed its timber-and-lead roof, Macron named Georgelin to lead the restoration work. Artisans around France are using medieval materials and methods to rebuild the Gothic landmark.
