A stunning restoration, in only five and a half years. Amazing.

Possible. Not cheap but desirable. Absolutely possible to the motivated.

You remember when Trump suggested they extinguish the blaze with a tanker plane ? https://x.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1117844987293487104

The Notre-Dame Cathedral of Theseus.

The Hunchback of Notredame was written to spark interest in the cathedral, which was falling into disrepair at the time. So, we're already a couple iterations in

Astounding. My city is 3 years into improving a bridge that's got no end in sight.

If I had to guess, the bridge being done probably benefits poor people who use it to get to work, while the bridge being endlessly under construction benefits a wealthy construction company owner. Wealthy people care about the cathedral being completed so it gets completed.

Wow. That's a long bridge.

Posted, read and was waiting for this.

Three years… adorable. The retreating German army blew up a bridge near the end of WW2 to slow down the Americans. They’re still arguing whether or not to rebuild it and who should pay.

Don't worry, we have plenty of those in France too. Notre-Dame just got special treatment because it's a tourist spot, and the fast repairs were a convenient political boost for Macron.

I wish every country would have a leader so well liked and accomplished as him!
