The crux of this project is to build the stool, located on the lower bottom of the structure, on top of which the spire will stand at almost 100 meters high. © Institution to Rebuild Notre-Dame de Paris Sketch of the elements composing the steeple. © David Bordes/Institution to Rebuild Notre-Dame de Paris With the grand reopening to the public set for December 8 2024 at 11:15 sharp, the first step in the restoration of the cathedral’s spire is underway in the city of Brey in North-eastern France."This is a critical operation," General Georgelin said, telling ABC News the reconstruction team is "now on track to have the spire finished in December 2024." Underway since last autumn, the rebuilding process has been years in the making, according to Rémi Fromont, chief architect of Historical Monuments, who coordinates the work and rescue of Notre Dame.

Since last autumn, a team of 40 carpenters has been at work selecting and shaping the blocks of oak that made the final 110 pieces composing the stool. © David Bordes/Institution to Rebuild Notre-Dame de Paris With the grand reopening to the public set for December 8 2024 at 11:15 sharp, the first step in the restoration of the cathedral’s spire is underway in the city of Brey in North-eastern France.Carpenter Paul Poulet, 27, who started his career at age 15, is one of them. "For me, working on this project is really interesting," he said, adding he is "really proud" to be part of the efforts to rebuild Notre Dame. © Institution to Rebuild Notre-Dame de Paris With the grand reopening to the public set for December 8 2024 at 11:15 sharp, the first step in the restoration of the cathedral’s spire is underway in the city of Brey in North-eastern France.Finding the best oak and artisans with the know-how needed was another complex task. "We are very lucky in France because we have excellent carpenters" who "are still able to work as the carpenters worked in the 19th century," Fromont told ABC News. © David Bordes/Institution to Rebuild Notre-Dame de Paris With the grand reopening to the public set for December 8 2024 at 11:15 sharp, the first step in the restoration of the cathedral’s spire is underway in the city of Brey in North-eastern France. © David Bordes/Institution to Rebuild Notre-Dame de Paris With the grand reopening to the public set for December 8 2024 at 11:15 sharp, the first step in the restoration of the cathedral’s spire is underway in the city of Brey in North-eastern France.Now, these artisans have the tough mission to fine tune the last details of this operation by making sure all the wood pieces fit perfectly, and then disassembling them without damage. In mid-April, the stool will travel to Paris, where it will be reassembled again, with the help of an additional 20 carpenters. © David Bordes/Institution to Rebuild Notre-Dame de Paris With the grand reopening to the public set for December 8 2024 at 11:15 sharp, the first step in the restoration of the cathedral’s spire is underway in the city of Brey in North-eastern France.

The wood and the structure will be the most vulnerable so "we have to be just perfect." By the summer, onlookers will get a first glimpse of the scaffolding at the crossing of the cathedral's transept, which will progressively grow to reach a height of 100 meters, as the progress on the restoration of the spire moves forward.
