€800m pledged to rebuild Notre-Dame

Foreign Affairs Correspondent

Now, around 800 million Euros have been pledged and a global call put out for architects. Just two days after Notre-Dame cathedral in Paris was ravaged by fire, thoughts have already turned to the rebuilding effort.

France has asked for architects to submit designs for a new spire after the old one was completely destroyed. This evening, cathedral bells rang out across the country at the exact moment the fire broke out on Monday.
