After more than nine hours of fierce battle with the flames that hit the historic and cultural capital of Paris, firefighters could have put the perimeter of fire under control, which has been the subject of world media since yesterday.
Today, through photos and videos circulating on the Internet, only the white smoke covering the cathedral can be seen, while the French authorities have officially stated that they have managed to escape from burning two of the cathedral towers and the rock structure of the Gothic building 850- year.
Reactions to this sad event have been numerous, from prominent personalities of politics in the world, art, culture, and even the President of France himself Emmanuel Macron spoke. He said that the cathedral will be reconstructed and for this reason they will be committed to collecting international funds with the sole purpose of returning to the French capital, but also to the whole world, the Notre Dame de Paris.
Following this call, the first respondent is billionaire François-Henry Pinault, executive director of the Kering Group, which owns famous brands Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent, who has decided to donate 100 million euros for the reconstruction of the cathedral.
