Paris - President Emmanuel Macron on Tuesday vowed to rebuild Notre-Dame cathedral"even more beautifully" within five years, as France reeled with shock from the fire that gutted the great Paris landmark.
But the cathedral's walls, bell towers and the most famous circular stained-glass windows at France's most visited tourist attraction remain intact.Macron's defiant comments indicated he wants the reconstruction of the cathedral to be completed by the time Paris hosts the Olympic Games in 2024."We will rebuild the cathedral even more beautifully and I want it to be finished within five years," Macron said from the Elysee Palace."And we can do it.
However the floor was covered in charred rubble from the fallen roof and water while parts of the vaulting at the top of the cathedral had collapsed. President Donald Trump relayed Americans'"condolences" to Macron over the fire, the White House said. Investigators interviewed witnesses overnight and began speaking with employees of five different construction companies that were working on the monument, said public prosecutor Remy Heitz.
