I just arrived  in Paris on sunday  for a few days.  Yesterday in the
evening,  the fire  trucks with  their howling  sirens went  down the
street several times before we understood something was happening.

When  I put  my head  out of  the window,  the smoke  in the  sky was
impressive, coming from Notre-Dame. I just see the two towers from my
place  and was  very  anxious at  sunset when  smoke  seemed to  come
directly from the towers.

This morning,  they are still  up, at the end  of the road,  but news
said a  part of the transapt  crossing collapsed. The city  seems now
very quiet. Everybody is deeply sad.
