Several countries contributed resources to this restoration in both human and financial capital, and the results are astounding. This nearly 900-year old cathedral was breathtaking prior to the fire and has been beautifully restored. Chapeau!
The absolute dumbest use of $1 billion I have ever seen in my entire life. Just think of how many people they could have helped instead of restoring that ridiculous building.
Things like this are why we are doomed as a species and one of many reasons I really can’t stand humans.
Which would not have been needed had they not rebuilt that ridiculous building. So yeah, still a complete waste of money. Skilled architects, builders, and contractors would have had no problem finding other work.
1stly, all the funds were donated with no taxpayer contribution.
2ndly, this money doesn't just get burned up. It went to all those people pictured who have put in 5 years' worth of work, applying their trade and know-how.
3rdly, it is an important historical & architectural part of French culture, regardless of its religious aspect. French people care about those things.
Lastly, it's a touristic draw that will continue to provide money into local businesses and the state, which is a good thing for French people
I shed tears of pride for their outstanding work. I've been following the restoration, and the pains-taking effort to keep the history and workmanship alive! 🦋
In France, there's a chance that the guy/gal who comes to fix your house also knows how to build cathedrals. One of the team of four replacing our roof is a Compagnon du devoir.
Thank YOU! Very interesting. I have a friend in France who restores old paintings, sculptures, etc. I got to work on a 1700s portrait. Her husband was certified to work on Louvre projects. I gained a new appreciation for sure
I tried to find God, in different faith's, not 1 Follow's in Christ's footsteps, so studied History & no Israel is mentioned in History except the Bible, so the Jewish stories are false narratives of men. Christ's Truth, is in the New Testament, not the Old taught by Religious Cults.
BTW The Catholic Church is one of the richest organisations in the world and are responsible for death and destruction not to mention hate and Pedophilia so my spelling is really inconsequential
