I'm suspicious that this happens during the week of Easter.
With the Muslims claiming a fire in the Al aqsa mosque at the same time, ya. Something that only Guilty children pull. "Happened to us too, so it couldn't have been us "
If this is found to be Arson and started as an act of Terror by a Muslim you will see Europe shake with anger. Macron will be tossed out of office and a new leader will round up the Muslims and ship them out.

How.many renovation fires have happened in France the last year compared to arson? People keep acting like it's not a logical position to wonder, however data says otherwise.

Divine intervention, God set the fire so the wealthy would put themselves on the altar of sacrifice... you have all this money for my building but not my people? Time to dust off the guillotine I think.

There are no signs of arson, it was deemed accidental...

Bad taste? They're taking the piss... I heard the fund has reached 1bn. What the truck? I don't think there was even that much for Haiti.

"French people donating money to French problems..." yeah that's what they're doing. Notre dame suffering damage is one of the greatest problems the French people face.
"I support the French people", no.... no you don't.
"Haiti's a # hole and itll remain a #hole ni matter how much money you pump into it. Its their problem. Quite literally." Where did I say Haiti was our problem? The comparison was to do with humans receiving aid vs a building. French people barely living on a couple hundred euros a month yet Notre Dame is damaged and all the billionaires are rolling about with their cheque-books.
You sound like a narrow minded bigot, not gonna lie.
The requirements of organised religion and the needs of France’s architectural heritage are far from identical. The stakes are similar, however. In a census taken in 1987 the Ministry of Culture counted 32,000 churches and about 6,000 chapels in France; there are eighty-seven cathedrals, all classified monuments. Only churches built after 1905 fall outside public ownership; they belong to the diocese of which the bishop is the head.
Under French law, the parish council owns the building itself and its furnishings and puts these at the disposal of the clergy for acts of worship. The parish council is responsible for the maintenance and restoration of the building but does not pay for lighting, heating or expenses connected with religious observances, which are the responsibility of the clergy. No building works can be undertaken without the agreement of the parish council, and the parish priest may not sell objects or remove them from the church without the permission of the mayor. If the church is listed, or classified as a monument of particular historical interest, the permission of the Commission on Historical Buildings must also be sought.

The state has to pay for the rebuild because the state owns the building , any Church or Cathedral built before 1905 in France belongs to the French state following a law passed in 1905 , the clergy are allowed use of the building.
