Rebuilding Notre Dame

Notre Dame Swimming Pool

There has been a lot of controversy about the amount of money required to reconstruct France's most iconic cathedral and where that money should come from. The French government immediately committed to the reconstruction. It struck me that the Catholic Church itself, one of the wealthiest organisations in the world, would have been a better source for the funds than the French taxpayer, with the money having to be found from budgets such as Education, Health, Culture etc. Probably for this reason I had to smile when I saw some of the suggestions as to how the new roof design might look. I particularlly like the one above and the practical solution to local parking problems provided below.
