Détails de la Façade Occidentale.

Western facade. Details.

Merci à tous pour vos messages chargés d’émotion !
Grace au dévouement des pompiers de Paris les structures majeures de la cathédrale ont été sauvées : les deux beffrois et la voûte en pierre notamment. La grande rosace et la grande Rose du midi, les grandes orgues et les principales reliques ont été préservées. Cependant la charpente dite « forêt de chênes » datant du XIII siècle avec des éléments du VIII ème a été entièrement détruite de même que la flèche du XIX ème siècle , des vitraux et des grandes peintures du XVII ème siècle. L’ampleur des dégâts réels n’est pas encore connue car les les pierres ont subit des contraintes énormes avec ce brasier infernal dont la température a avoisiné les 800 degrés Celsius.

Thank you all for your messages full of emotion!
Thanks to the devotion of Paris’ firefighters, the major structures of the cathedral were saved: the two belfry and the stone vault in particular. The great rosette and the great Rose of the South, the great organs and the main relics have been preserved. However, the so-called «oak forest» framework dating from the 13th century with elements of the 8th century was completely destroyed, as was the 19th century arrow, a lot of stained glass windows and large paintings of the 17th century. The extent of the actual damage is not yet known because the stones have undergone enormous stress with this infernal blaze whose temperature has approached 800 degrees Celsius.

well caught at a golden moment...encouraging that some key elements were preserved, as from live TV coverage it looked as if the entire building would burn and collapse..
