Is Notre-Dame de Paris under scaffolding?

Partial

Partly: works are visible on part of it.

The west front and towers seen from the parvis are clear. The east end (chevet) is under scaffolding for the restoration of its 22 flying buttresses, and the 19th-century sacristy joined in spring 2026. A further dozen operations are planned up to 2033.
