Notre Dame has caught fire, with the flames engulfing the upper part of the cathedral and causing the spire to collapse.
A major operation was under way, the fire department added, while a city hall spokesman said on Twitter that the area was being cleared. Two hours after the fire began, the spire of the cathedral collapsed in flames.
The ceiling of Notre Dame contained 13,000 oak trees cut in the 12th century. An entire forest, essentially.
