Not really. France is well equipped with scads of experts of its own. It is very proud of its hand craftsmen and highly skilled workmen. They work on chateaux and cathedrals all the time. No need for the Ruskies.
You think they’re going to rebuild ND using 1,000 year-old construction materials and techniques? That’s silliness times ten.
You don’t know the Soviets are SOBs. You’ve GOT to be a Millennial. Sit down, boy. Let the adults talk.
The USSR is gone, son. People like you try to hate it back into existence. And it’s a good bet I’m older than you.
Liberal crap. Next you're going to say I'm a racist. What are you doing here? You belong on DummieUnderground.
You’re a fool who thinks the USSR is alive and well. Enter the new century, kiddo.
Putin is president. Ever hear of him? Know anything about him? I didn’t think so. Don’t talk to me again. Don’t have time for newbie nincompoops.
The pleasure of ignoring a Soviet-besotted Cassandra will be all mine.
Wrong again.
The French and Russians were best buds many hundreds of years before Lenin came along.
The French completed a prior rebuild around 1840, finished the repair of damage suffered in the 1789 Revolution.
Yep, and they did it from scratch. The old cathedral had been completely razed by Stalin.
Indeed. They also do beautiful stonework and excellent historical research to base it on. However, if it’s going to be a “new” design for Notre Dame, I bet they’ll withdraw their offer.
