Temporary wooden cathedral proposed After Notre-Dame fire

After the fire at Notre-Dame Cathedral, officials have raised a proposal to temporarily build up a wooden cathedral near Notre-Dame’s famed towers.

The rector of the Paris landmark, Monsignor Patrick Chauvet, suggested that the structure would serve as a home for worshippers and tourists alike.

The 850-year-old Gothic cathedral was already undergoing renovation works at the time of the fire break-out.

Notre-Dame Cathedral has been closed after a fire tore through its roof and destroyed its spire.

Emmanuel Macron, the French President have pledged that the Cathedral would be reopened within 5 years.
