In the Cathedral of Notre Dame, located in the center of the French capital, a fire broke out.It is reported that puffs of smoke erupt from the windows of the cathedral. He quickly struck the spire, which soon collapsed.

Information about the victims is also not.According to French media reports, firefighters may be associated with repair work.Bronze statues were taken out last week.French President Emmanuel Macron is scheduled for Monday evening. According to his representative, Macron is sent to the scene.Macron later tweeted: “Like all of our fellow citizens, this evening I watch with sadness how some of us all burn.”
I think his is one of the great treasures of the world; it was created by the greatest artists in the world. It is something greater than almost any museum in the world, and so it burns so terribly. This is a part of ourselves, of what we have grown up with, it is part of our culture. This is truly a great cathedral, no matter what people say about it. Sometimes it makes me really sad when people think that we should not care about it that much because some of us don't even knew about cathedral and it is always worse when people die, and it's just a cathedral. But people die everyday and we can't control this. And architecture is the thing that only we can create and only we can control. Many of this kind of art stays with us for a long time, for centuries. For some people, like for those who are citizens of Paris, it was really important and it very sad to know how much it hurts for them.
