French President Emmanuel Macros has already vowed to rebuild the iconic cathedral, which attracts hundreds of thousands of tourists each year. The cathedral’s spire came crashing down in the flames, but many relics inside the cathedral have reportedly been saved.
The exact cause of the fire is not yet clear.
