00:00It's beautiful. Before it was dark, it was black, and now it's bright, so it's completely different.

00:09And indeed, as it has been said, it's beautiful and everything has been beautiful.

00:15I'm really curious to see how it has been renovated, how it is even more beautiful.

00:21And to share that, but not to go there alone, but to share it with people of another generation

00:28who have really lived Notre-Dame, as I may not have lived it.

00:32So sharing, in any case, I think it's going to be so moving, so strong,

00:36in feelings, in emotions, that we want to share it.

00:39Personally, I really want to share it.

00:41It's amazing. I think it's just...

00:43And all of the work that's been put into it from all different teams.

00:47And I've been very, very fortunate over the last couple of years

00:51to really get to actually make friendships with people working on the restoration site.

00:55So that's been wonderful. And just to be able to see all their work come together.

00:58So, yeah, I think a lot of emotions, excitement. I think it's gorgeous.

01:03Yeah, just so much of my heart. Yeah, it's really my entire heart.
