French video game publisher Ubisoft pledges half a million Euro to the restoration of Notre-Dame Cathedral (and gives away its Paris-set game to encourage others to donate).
The devastating events at Notre-Dame Cathedral, one of Europe’s oldest landmarks and quintessential Parisian landmark, can’t have escaped your attention. Pictures of the 16th-Century spire collapsing in on the 850-year old landmark filled news cycles around the world.
The world was stunned, but none more so than Parisians, and the French nation as a whole.
Luckily, the fire was brought under control minutes before the underlying structure of Notre-Dame was too badly damaged. Like the Minster in York, which suffered a devastating fire in 1984, Notre-Dame can be rebuilt and restored. The French people, too, have a spirit which cannot be diminished.
