Notre Dame's great bell tolls in tribute to medics battling coronavirus pandemic
The bourdon bell had sounded just once since April 15, 2019, when a blaze broke out that consumed the spire and the roof and, officials say, came within 30 minutes of completing razing the 850-year-old cathedral.
On the anniversary of the fire, three people wearing hazmat suits and masks took turns to heave on a rope high in the southern belfry to swing the bell's clapper for five minutes.
The bourdon sounded at 8:00pm on Wednesday (local time), just as Parisians came out onto their balconies and lent from windows to applaud the frontline medics and carers risking their lives to treat COVID-19 patients.
The outbreak has killed more than 17,000 people in France.
