The Incredible Story of the Spire of Notre-Dame de Paris Church | SLICE EXPERTS - PART4

April 15, 2019, the world holds its breath: Notre-Dame de Paris, France’s leading monument to which 13 million visitors flock each year, is in flames. The attic, the wooden roof, and the spire by the architect Viollet-Le-Duc are collapsing.
But in the midst of this nightmare, a miracle occurs: This masterpiece of Gothic architecture of 5,500m2 finally stands firm.
It is not the first time the great lady of France almost met her end. The 130-meter long and 48-meter wide church almost never even came into being.
Thanks to exceptional permission from the French Ministry of Culture, this film will go behind the scenes of this reconstruction process to reveal its mysteries.
With the help of unpublished archives, interviews with top experts, reconstructions, and computer-generated images, this film will unlock the secrets of Notre-Dame’s construction, the techniques invented and deployed by its builders, the threats it has faced over nearly nine centuries, and the plans for its future renovation.
Documentary: The Eternal Notre-Dame
Directed by: Stanislas Kraland
Production: La Famiglia for RMC Découverte

I am not religious at all, but I am happy to see this fantastic building restored.

[@tellyboy17]

Well, they did a great reconstruction and to be fair: most old buildings are to a certain extend reconstructions as they were rescued from the ravages of time.

[@michaelseibold9977]

Great history! We visited in 2016 before the fire and we were moved by the space. We gave money for the restoration after the fire. But I did not know much about the 19th century restoration. I hope to return one of these days.

Wonderful video ❤

[@stevendaniel8126]

IMHO organized religion is a huge hoax. However, this building, and its' history and art, really reaches the heart. 😊😊

[@breezysunnydays]

Thanks! 🥰

Very cynical remark, Notre Dame is an important part of French history.

I think it is a flèche.

How many people would the money from that reconstruction feed. Waste. People should boycott the tourist trap

[@christianterraes8334]

Ce sont les gens eux même qui ils l ont financé !!! De l argent du privé !!! L état n a pas déboursé un centime ! C'est le choix des gens. C est l histoire de France ! OK !? Ça n à pas de prix. Rien n empêche de faire pareille pour les besoins de l humanitéok ?! Vous gauchistes ont vous attends toujours pour l organiser puisque vous êtes les plus gentils du monde....!!!

If you can’t see the value of the building itself, that’s a shame. But if you need a materialist justification for the renovation, then you may be interested to know that every penny of the money spent on the renovation of the cathedral has gone toward employment for hundreds and hundreds of people. From entry level jobs to highly skilled professionals. What’s more, they will carry the skills they have learned to other projects when this is done.

[@jppalm3944]

@@Lao_Thor all for another symbol for wealthy catholic cult. You can’t think of another project in whole country to provide jobs and training?

[@tomjugan7318]

Do you really think that money is the only thing that feeds people?

C’est la culture, le patrimoine, l’art, qui éveillent les esprits, et luttent aussi indirectement contre les inégalités. Tu es horrifié par les injustices ? Va militer sous les vidéos de Dubaï, tu seras plus utile.
