Images showing the charred interior of the 15th-century cathedral in Nantes, France, appear to point to three separate outbreaks of flames leaving damaged the Gothic gem yesterday, indicating probable arson, the RT website reports today (July 19, 2020).
The blaze destroyed the grand organ at the Cathedral of St. Pierre and St. Paul, blew out the stained glass windows at the front of the building, and consumed a valuable 19th-century painting sent from Rome.
Nantes Prosecutor Pierre Sennes confirmed there had been three fire hotspots in the building and said "an arson investigation has been opened."
More than 100 firefighters were dispatched to extinguish the blaze.
