Les curs des Français, des Américains et de tous ceux qui ont été témoins de la grandeur de la cathédrale Notre-Dame sont brisés aujourd'hui. Quelle tragédie, une perte incalculable. Nous pleurons ensemble, mais nous reconstruirons.
Translated from French by Microsoft
The hearts of the French, the Americans and all those who witnessed the grandeur of Notre-Dame Cathedral are broken today. What a tragedy, an incalculable loss. We cry together, but we'll rebuild.
