Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris is getting its bells back, just in time for the medieval landmark’s re-opening following a devastating fire in 2019.

A convoy of trucks bearing eight restored bells — the heaviest of which weighs more than four tons — pulled into the huge worksite surrounding the monument on Thursday on an island in the Seine River.
