They will rebuild it, though. While you can’t replace the almost 1000 year old oak trees, it will appear the same, unless something irreplaceable was lost (paintings, relics, etc.). Germany had to rebuild its Cathedrals. Europe is constantly gutting and redoing buildings, old walls, and even paintings. At some point, it is unclear if the stuff is still old or the same, but it looks the same (except too new) and everyone is happy. I think it was arson, but likely a cigarette and impossible to prove. It will cost a lot of money, but create jobs. I think that Putin had a yellow vest burn it to spite Macron. France seems to be the only nuclear weapons state which maybe isn’t owned by Putin, apart from China (which needs Russian energy). The UK borrows our weapons. France was right, it seems, to want its own weapons. Macron wisely gave nuclear utility EDF head Proglio a choice between France and Russia and Proglio chose Russia: https://uk.reuters.com/article/us-thales-managementchanges/proglio-gives-up-chairmanship-of-french-defense-group-thales-le-monde-idUKKBN0NX0KB20150512
