A fire tore through the monument in the heart of the French capital.
The current and former first ladies Melania Trump and Michelle Obama have shared photos of their respective visits to Notre Dame Cathedral, in tributes to the French icon which was engulfed by flames on Monday.
“I will never forget the first time I walked into the Notre Dame Cathedral,” wrote the former First Lady. “I was a teenager on a school trip to Paris. It was my very first international trip, and until then, I hadn’t seen much outside of the South Side neighborhood I grew up in. Their husbands also gave their condolences. Alongside the same image of his family, former President Barack Obama wrote: “Notre Dame is one of the world’s great treasures, and we’re thinking of the people of France in your time of grief. It’s in our nature to mourn when we see history lost—but it’s also in our nature to rebuild for tomorrow, as strong as we can.”
— Donald J. Trump April 15, 2019 Speaking during an economic roundtable he said the destruction caused by the fire “is beyond countries, that's beyond anything. That's a part of our growing up, it's a part of culture. It's a part of our lives.” The cathedral has withstood the French revolution and two World Wars, and French President Emmanuel Macron vowed to see it restored.
