The Notre Dame

It was very sad this week waking to the news from Paris that the Notre Dame had lost it's roof and been damaged by fire. I had visited it twice and found it difficult to believe that a solid cathedral that has stood for over 800 years had painted such a dreadful picture with it's roof in flames. There is an informative pictorial description of the Notre Dame as it was and of what was damaged here. It was good to learn that the magnificent rose windows have survived, the building still stands and that many of the treasures were saved too.
