Tourists, Easter worshippers lament the closure of Notre Dame.
A woman stands on steps near the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, Saturday, April 20, 2019. Rebuilding Notre Dame, the 800-year-old Paris cathedral devastated by fire this week, will cost billions of dollars as architects, historians and artisans work to preserve the medieval landmark.
Crowds lined the embankments across from the cathedral Saturday, taking photos or just staring in shock. The fire collapsed the spire and destroyed the roof of the 12th century monument, and Easter services normally held in Notre Dame are being conducted elsewhere. Visitor Susan Harlow of Kansas City, Missouri, said: We didnt get here in time to see it. And now we probably never will, given the many years its expected to take to repair.
