The choir of Notre Dame Cathedral sang inside the medieval landmark for the first time since last year’s devastating fire – sporting hard hats and socially distancing.

Twenty singers, also wearing protective suits as the building is a construction site, performed beneath the Paris cathedral’s stained glass windows amid the darkened church.
