Tears my heart out. This is one of the most magnificent churches in the world. I was so lucky that I actually got to
see it, almost 20 years ago. We stood taking pictures and gazing in awe at the beauty of it, inside and out. I’m so SO sad that this is happening.
I visited Notre Dame in 1989. To say that I was profoundly impressed, is putting it mildly. There's almost nothing in this country that compares to the beauty and grandeur of that grand medieval structure. Pictures do not do it justice.
