"No less than 15 years … it's a colossal task," Mr Pericolo said.
Mr Pericolo worked on the restoration of the 19th-century Saint-Donatien basilica, which was badly damaged by fire in 2015 in the French city of Nantes
...it could take between "two to five years" just to check the stability of the massive cathedral that dominates the Paris skyline’
I can’t see a political decision being reached any time soon on a national monument , leased to the church. The Sydney Opera House took fourteen years (using French cranes) May be another Sagrada Familia , a story that people find endlessly fascinating.

Taking the cultural significance away from the topic for a moment. Isn't it sometimes better when something is completely destroyed ? It's frustrating that it takes so long to make sure that the original part is ok before anything can be done to repair or restore it.
