From 2019:

"Emmanuel Macron has announced he wants to see Notre Dame cathedral rebuilt “more beautiful than before” within five years, but there are warnings that the repairs could take decades and will involve substantial challenges."

April 2019 to November 2024.  

 

In the US the restoration wouldn't even have started yet.
