I could not find any news. Seems to have started where renovation works were ongoing... Construction machinery I expect.

I blame the bloody proddies ☹️
Who else would burn a Catholic cathedral to the ground in Holy Week 🤷

Given that a dozen or more churches have been hit by vandalism recently there is NO WAY this was an accident.
Will be very interesting to see the French public reaction to this and the impact on mosques and synagogues. Could be the last straw for French tolerance of multiculturalism and the government.

Do you think that they will ever tell us the truth?

I posted this in the Politics board. The Europeans are really good at restoring and reconstructing damaged or destroyed buildings when motivated. They've had plenty of practice cathedrals and castles damaged in the World Wars. Reims Cathedral at the end of WWI Reims Cathedral today If motivated enough they'll replace any destroyed stained glass with new hand-crafted glass made with traditional techniques. I expect Notre Dame de Paris will receive such attention.

It is not the same thing. There are many things that may have been placed in crypts and side rooms and were forgotten, which are now totally lost.

Maybe they're react the same way New Yorkers did in response to 9/11 with their zero tolerance policy to immigrants.
