Notre Dame ,after the Sixtine Chappel is the second most important Catholic Cathedral in the world ,it has been a symbol of faith and arquitectural beauty for centuries ,so glad the restauración is the original building !
Yes! Notre-Dame will notably be equipped with a vaporization system, installed below the roof and in the spire, that would immediately stop any outbreaking fire from spreading.
Four years ago, we talked a lot about the reconstruction of this clock for Notre-Dame, and since then, nothing ! Wouldn’t that be related to the fact that a Russian company had to participate in this project! ? I e-mailed several correspondents shortly after the fire on this project, and no one answers me. I don’t understand
Serendipitously, while compiling an inventory at Sainte-Trinité church in northern Paris, just four kilometers away from Notre-Dame, French watchmaker and restoration specialist Jean-Baptiste Viot found a nearly identical (though 40 cm larger) version of the Notre-Dame clock movement hidden away in a disused room, covered by boards and old furniture. The mechanical Sainte-Trinité clock had been forgotten since being replaced by an electric model more than 50 years ago. Jean-Baptiste Viot; author Bruno Cabanis (who wrote a book on the Notre-Dame clock); Olivier Chandez (watchmaker in charge of maintaining the Notre-Dame clock); and clock restorer Christine Chaligné created the Notre-Dame Clock Association (l’Association Horloge Notre-Dame) at the end of 2019. They have been working with a team of watchmaking students from the Diderot watchmaking school in Paris guided by watchmaking teacher Michel Boulanger. The group since begun meticulously measuring, documenting, and digitizing all of the components and mechanisms of the newly discovered Sainte-Trinité clock with the aim of creating a detailed computer model to help create the new replica clock for Notre-Dame. Engineers of the St. Petersburg-based Raketa watch factory helped the Horloge Notre-Dame association rebuild the clock.
Perhaps. I understand your reasoning. The last time I visited, the building was clearly in a dilapidated state. The cathedrals, though in daily use by the Roman Catholic church, are the responsibility of the French government.
I hope they will be doing a full detailed documentary on the restoration. It will be fascinating to watch.
Some of the horrid designs for the rebuilding were absolutely sickening. So glad they decided to restore it exactly like it was.
I obviously watched the event live on tv as it happened. I am happy they can restore it and they will.
I heard that it was an unwritten agreement in WWII that with all the bombings, they would not destroy the castles and cathedrals.

We agree Adela!
The Sistine Chapel is not a cathedral
Great update! Thank you!
Our pleasure!
Amen.
Did they install a sprinkler system?
We We, We are stupid French men, who needs water when you can drink wine, We We

@@Megalith_EN Thanks for the response.

I live in Australia, a UK TV company has made a couple of documentaries on the restoration, which we have seen in Australia.
where's all the laughing emojis now?! haha
Here at Megalith we’re ecstatic the spire is finally renovated!
The Catholic Church should have paid the entirety of the rebuilding.

PUERTO RICO FIRST THE FIRE WAS PLANNED
Ancient oak forests were cut down,,,, the question remains of why the fire spread very fast, how many construction workers were smokers? muslims?
Your evidence?
disghusting design.
We appreciate your opinion! We believe it isn't too bad given the design is 860 years old!
