VOICED : Las nuevas campanas de Notre Dame

The video discusses the historic sound of Notre-Dame's bells, which had not been heard in Paris since the 18th century. For the cathedral's 850th anniversary, a new set of thirteen bells was introduced, some of which date back to the original construction. During the revolution, some bells were melted down and replaced with lower-quality ones. With a 2 million euro investment funded by donations, the carillon was restored. Notre-Dame now has two bells in the South Tower, eight in the North, and three in the Central Spire, reviving its historic sound for the enjoyment of locals and tourists.
