I humbly offer my services as forum inquisitor. There is absolutely no way I would abuse this power in any way.

It feels sort of inappropriate for non-French people to be all 'gently caress you Macron guillotines at dawn!" when the gilet jaune are the ones facing all the danger and harm and we're completely removed from it but seriously.

nah it’s cool thanks for the support

When I want to relax, I read an essay by Engels. When I want something more serious, I read Corto Maltese.

There are several accounts now saying it's an accident, nothing to do with protests.

There have been renovations going on for a while, so it's probably related to that.

Glad it turned out to be an accident, but really not looking forward to the conspiracy theories. If it had been obvious, deliberate arson, a lot more of France would be on fire right now.

If our gvt put half the effort at putting off that fire as they do at deploying water cannons against yellow vests this would be over already.

Some of the details likely can't be rebuilt with exactitude. A good part of the building was also still original and had never been replaced with newer elements. It's a disaster for conservation.

i mean...clearly. the whole place is on fire, for starters


just playin'. just wondering if they'll try to rebuild it as it was or do some weird modern looking thing as a tribute or just scrap the idea and sell the land for sweet, sweet cash. surely there are enough images of every nook and cranny floating around to like...try to remake it

probably both

they'll rebuild it closely enough to the original that your average tourist probably won't notice a difference

and then they'll tack on condos or billboards or something to try to monetize it somehow

They'll rebuild. It's too much of a national symbol and tourist attraction not to. Plus, bad as this fire is, other cathedrals survived being shelled and burning in the past. It'll take a few decades of work, though.
