In 2019 Paris has already lost iconic Notre-Dame de Paris spire in a major blaze at cathedral on 15 April, which caused the partial destruction of its roof structure. French President Emmanuel Macron pledged to rebuild the Notre-Dame in five years, while some experts claim that the restoration works will last at least 10 years.
