Notre Dame in Paris has been spiffed up.
Who can ever shed from memory the images of the fire?
A great deal of hard and meticulous work has gone into restoring this amazing place, much of it dedicated to other problems that developed over the years and that were unrelated to the fire.
Breathtaking. The first images of the restored interior of Notre Dame cathedral

The new tabernacle is shown in the above video. I am not impressed.
The result of the restoration is stunning. Sadly, I can’t say the same of the new tabernacle or the rest of the new liturgical furnishings. The good thing is, future generations can replace them with something better. (The otherwise gorgeous cathedral of the Dutch city of Den Bosch (Bois-le-Duc, strangely enough the French exonym is also used in English) seems to be stuck forever with its current altar, which was consecrated in 1985 by Pope Saint John Paul II.)
