French billionaire Bernard Arnault announced on Tuesday that he and the LVMH luxury conglomerate he controls would give €200m for the reconstruction efforts. The privately run French Heritage Foundation has already launched a call for donations to help restore a “symbol of French history and culture”.
The head of a French lumber company told FranceInfo radio that it was ready to offer the best oak beams available to rebuild the intricate lattice that supported the now-destroyed roof, known as the “Forest”.
