Notre Dame shows off almost-finished restoration ahead of Olympics 

How about the people that donated the money, craftsman don't work for free!🤠🤠

@@davidhennen7045 Then I will leave it to you to thank those craftsmen.

Western craftsmen that's why great stone masons all western experts .well done it's a beautiful cathedral

Thank the great European race for restoring this grand building .well done

@@davidhennen7045 LOL tax deductible donations!!!

But now France is lost. It was an omen.

Boy are you out of date. Hardly represents Paristan 2024 😢

@@nhmooytis7058 relax.

@@vsznry Sod off.

A monitored fire detection system and sprinklers would have prevented this... 🧯

Yes 🙏🏻

???

There was, of course, already one. But the lack of training of the agent who was monitoring it did not make it possible to locate the exact location of the fire start quickly enough. The new system installed is much clearer and more efficient.

So it's a shame or were they right to take the time ? 😅

There was, of course, already a anti-fire system. But the lack of training of the agent who was monitoring it did not make it possible to locate the exact location of the fire start quickly enough. The new system installed is much clearer and more efficient.

lol donated to billionaire property management company disguised as a church

The building is priceless, 750 million is pocket change compared to its actual worth. JP Morgan Chase is building a new skyscraper in Manhattan at the cost of 30 Billion, and it's just a glass and steel tower, not much different from the sears tower in design.

​@@onetruecasey Do you wake up each day and start spewing lies and disinformation - or do you have a cup of coffee, first? 🤔

They have much less money and workers though, as the Christchurch cathedral isn't nearly as important

Anybody addicted to Whataboutism and irrelevant comments? 🤔

@@TheStockwell irrevant? On a scale of 1-10 for morons 10 being full tard you’re an 11.

Who suggested this ?

No we tried to replicate as close as it was before, picked over 1400 oaks aged over 100 years old, rediscovered old craftsmanship way from the Middle Ages, optimized the assembly for some some lead pieces but keeping the same look. What will change from before is : - A full restoration of the cathedral, everything from any period of time, using the exacts same technics used before. Everything will look brand new, with some chosen exception. - The rooster at the top of the spire became a phoenix to remind our-self of what happen. - All electrical, water and waste ways striped away and fully remade up to code but keeping it humble and in respect of the cathedral. - Some stained glass windows that were destroyed are replaced with donated panel from other Europeans cathedrals depicting the same religious event. What took most of the time of the restoration is archeological etude to know exactly how everything was made, finding archived buildings plans, find recent pictures of everything to recreate it all exact by the millimeter. The unfortunate event allowed use to document old technics, allowing us to develop skills at a national level to restore any of our historical building in France. We thought we lost all the skills, that was impossible to maintain our heritage. But that not true anymore (and really never was) and France is now more than ever able to protect our culture, and even build new monument from any style from the Middle Ages to the present day. Is some ways, it was a blessing.

If the English had taste, it would be known 😜

Depends on where in the US. If you don’t have to deal with labor unions, and can hire contractors who uses migrant laborers, it could be finished in a year. Two years if you actually want to attempt to save/restore what’s left. Of course, that is all depending on how long it takes insurance to pay out. Naturally they would want a full investigation to determine whether it was arson, or fraud, anything they can get do to get out if paying.

@@UmmYeahOk french unions are much stronger than in US

@@UmmYeahOk ain’t no way it would be done in two years in America… it takes two years for a school board to fund and vote on a sidewalk!!

De Molay was burned on the Ile aux Cygnes , in front of Place Dauphine

@@kiribati9393 right in the neighborhood, either way, you have the Merovingian kings of France (Clovis I baptized in 508 to Napoleon 1798 (1290 of Daniel 12:11) and the deadly wound to the papacy) and their obsession with Bees, = Fleur-de-lis in its early form

@@wheatamongtares777 Bees have no link to fleur de lys buth with the discoveries of the Merovingian tumb in the XVIII th century near Saint Geneviève, you're making link where there are quite flimsy

@@kiribati9393 There is a chapter called "origin of the Fleur-de-lis" in the book called "the Rosicrucians, their rites and mysteries" by Hargrave Jennings where it explains the true origins of it... Straight from the horses mouth... this is what the Da Vinci code was about

If the government is paying for it, then it probably has more to do with tourism. While, yes, the Olympics will bring in a lot of tourist dollars, and they will most likely want to visit, pretty much any tourist visiting Paris for the very first time comes to Notre Dame. If they don’t go, then the people who live and work nearby suffer, because they lose that business, and ultimately would want a handout from taxpayers as well. It’s sort of a “trickle down” bail out. I’m sure that had this happened to lesser known Parisian cathedrals, they wouldn’t received as much aid from the government.

The cathedral belongs to the city of Paris. The Catholic Church owns a lot of prime real estate in France, but they gave away the churches (and their upkeep) when the law on the separation of State and Church was voted in 1905.

So why are you wasting your time commenting on a video that talks about France? The cathedral received nearly 900 million euros from all over the world, it's proof that you're the only one who doesn't care. How many people would donate just 1 euro to you? Absolutely none, you're just insignificant be aware of that 😉😉

Prick

Wouldn't it be something if people stopped making irrelevant, stupid comments? 🤔 No offense intended 😏

lol

He told them they should water bomb the cathedral, like they do for wildfires, when it caught fire. If he was responsible for the repairs, it would be covered in bronze with gold plated windows and his name in 20' high letters in the front.

From the French : « No ».
