That's sad.

I am getting the impression that a good chunk of Notre Dame is, in fact, not original. And thins which were replaced once can be replaced again.

In spite of its fame, it's not a cathedral I know very well, except like a tourist. Can't remember if I have been in it, but maybe not.

The rose window is a skeleton, the glass is gone.

Notre-Dame's towers were saved, but two-thirds of the roof was destroyed by fire. “The worst has been avoided,” the president of France said.

By 11 p.m., Gen. Jean-Claude Gallet, the Paris fire chief, said that Notre-Dame cathedral, including the two magnificent towers soaring above the skyline, had been “saved and preserved as a whole.”

The cause of the fire was not immediately known, officials said. No one was killed, they said, but a firefighter was seriously injured.
