President Emmanuel Macron has vowed the emblematic church will be rebuilt after its spire and roof collapsed Monday night in a blaze thought to be linked to extensive renovation work.
PARIS - The huge blaze that has devastated Notre-Dame cathedral in Paris has been extinguished, the city's fire service announced on Tuesday, around 15 hours after it first broke out.
Pledges to donate millions of euros in cash and materials poured in Tuesday in the aftermath of the fire. The privately run French Heritage Foundation has already launched a call for donations to help restore a "symbol of French history and culture."
