Book summary:

"Rebuilding Notre-Dame de Paris" is the english version of the same book "Rebâtir Notre-Dame de Paris". The construction work was followed by people from all over the world, so it needed a universal language version to give details of this fabulous reconstruction. Enriched by over 250 photographs and plans, it also reveals previously unpublished accounts of the craftsmen, architects and engineers who combined their skills to restore Notre-Dame Cathedral to its former splendour.
