French Government Forces Traditional Rebuild of Notre Dame
[BREITBART] The French Senate has voted to reject the plans for rebuilding Notre Dame cathedral in Gay Paree put forward by the French executive including President Emmanuel Macron who wanted an "inventive reconstruction", mandating that the work must be traditional.
One guy wanted to put a public pool upstairs.
That would have been one way to shortcut the amount of time needed to get water up there to put the next fire out. Oh well.
The vote by the Senate may put to rest concerns over the fate of the globally renowned Notre Dame cathedral which was severely damaged by fire in April, which has been further threatened by suggestions the promised rebuild be led by a modernist architect. Now the cathedral and spire must resemble "the last known visual condition" before the fire, meaning a totally traditional rebuild.

Sits in the middle of the Seine. Makes too much sense.

#3 The hottest must-see in Paree?
Their new cathédrale engloutie:
Hear the Notre Dame school
Sung in glass-bottomed pool
And, bien sure, mon amis, Debussy!

"But... why did they fill it with pee?"

#7 Personally, I thought the architecture of the spire clashed with the rest.
