Cathedral after the massive April 15, 2019 fire,
urging the landmark’s quick resurrection. The
F President of the French Republic, Emmanuel
Macron, has promised to have it rebuilt in five years.

Prominent people from France and across the world have pledged
the funds to get it done. The iconic spire in flames was a heart-

pledged by: Francois Henri-Pinault, the chairman of Kering,
Bernard Arnault of LVMH, L'Oreal's Bettencourt Meyers
family, IBM, Apple’s CEO Tim Cook, Patrick Pouyanné, CEO
of Total, Fondation du Patrimoine, Disney and the University
