Okay, so what we know has been saved aside from the base foundation. Those gorgeous rose windows, several works of art including possibly a certain Crown of Thorns, the towers -yes that includes the bells- and what has been speculated to have been saved include the famous organ.

Viva la France!

Immanuel Macron has stated the cathedral will be rebuilt within 5 years.
