Just watching the awful scenes from Paris of he devastating fire at Notre Dame Cathedral. Such a beautiful building. 850 years of history destroyed in less than 2 hours. That gorgeous rose window gone. So sad. Although it has been some time now since we went to Paris, it was always on my visit list whenever we were there..

Not so sure about that. After seeing photos of St Malo and SainteMare-Eglise (just to name two places), it is amazing how well they have been restored to appear as in their original state. After being the theatre for two wold wars, I think the French have shown tremendous abilities of restoration.

Notre Dame could and should be put back exactly as it was ( with the exception of a sprinkler system) but I fear it won’t be. I read that he (Macron) being the globalist he is, wants to build it back with a view to ‘diversity ‘ and the architect is suggesting an Islamic minaret!! Words fail me!
