A new golden rooster has been installed on the Notre Dame cathedral in a pivotal moment for the Paris landmark’s restoration.

The sculpture, installed by a crane on Saturday, reimagines the original rooster as a dramatic phoenix with licking, flamed feathers that goes beyond being just a weathervane atop the cathedral spire.

It symbolises resilience amid destruction after the devastating April 2019 fire as restoration officials also reveal an anti-fire misting system is being kitted out under the cathedral’s roof.
