It's a day of tribute to the Paris fire fighters who saved Notre Dame Cathedral from collapse and rescued its treasures from encroaching flames.
French President Emmanuel Macron is hosting them for a special gathering on Thursday.
Later, Paris City Hall will hold a ceremony in the fire fighters' honour, with a concert, two giant banners and readings from Victor Hugo's "The Hunchback of Notre Dame."
