The photos and footage just make me feel sick. Such a magnificent symbol of Western civilisation and culture. Very sad. |

Back from The Invalides where I attended a conference yesterday night, my taxi drove along the river bank, and the driver a moslem from Algeria, told me, :"what a pity, never been in there, I should have done that before". |

With 400 Parisian firemen battling to save the building, I will bet there was more than one Moslem amongst them, risking his or her life possibly, to save a Christian building. The thought gives hope anyway…… |

Are those firemen lineal descendants (as an organization) from the sapeurs-pompiers Napoleon organized after the 1810 fire? |

@ Nine pound round
yes, you are right the firemen in Paris (BSPP) Brigade des sapeurs pompiers de Paris belong to a military unit founded in 1811. This unit is the only one in french army that has served the country whatever the political regime was, kingdom, Empire, Republic without being disbanded. |

You all know that the French Revolutionaries wanted to tear it down, right? It was Napoleon who saved it. Yeah, Bonaparte! |
