Three years after the devastating fire, Notre-Dame cathedral in Paris is mostly cleared of a thick layer of soot as an army of craftsmen race to meet a deadline to reopen in time for the 2024 Olympics.

Ahead of the anniversary of the blaze today, the mammoth cleaning job of the walls, vaults and floor is almost completed, restoring the cathedral to its original whiteness.
