"You did your alchemy here on this site to turn charred coals into art," said France's President Emmanuel Macron after he toured the newly restored Notre Dame.
The reopening ceremony will feature solemn rituals, grand opera, heads of state and high security, marking a significant moment in French history.
Before the fire, Notre Dame attracted around 12 million visitors annually, with projections of 15 million following the extensive restoration.
French billionaires pledged substantial donations for the restoration, but reports indicate delays in disbursement, affecting the rebuilding timeline.
