i took this pic
lucky to see this beautiful church
feel terrible at its partial destruction…
but…
twin bell towers are safe
organ is safe
rose window is safe
bell Emmanuelle seems safe
cross is safe
nail from crucifixion is safe
crown of thorns is safe
paintings are smoke-damaged, not fire-damaged
copper rooster safe
flying buttresses look okay to me in images, hope they really are too
loss of the spire is very sad, but was newer, so hope it can be constructed again…
Wishing France the best in her plans to restore Notre Dame, a happy Easter, a new beginning…
