AV Integrator Groupe Novelty Revives Notre-Dame de Paris Cathedral
French AV integrator Groupe Novelty played a central role in the rebirth of Notre-Dame de Paris Cathedral.
The Cathedral was engulfed in flames on 15th April 2019, destroying its famous spire and roof, causing significant damage to the cathedral’s altar, pipe organs, 13th-century rose windows, and religious relics.
The cathedral finally reopened on 7th December 2024 in a restoration considered one of the most ambitious and extensive house of worship reconstruction projects in modern history.
Novelty Paris took on the role of lead integrator, seeking support from its sister company De Préférence for fine-tuning and acoustic optimisation, with the wider Groupe Novelty companies undertaking the challenge of equipping the historic cathedral with fully integrated audiovisual infrastructure.
