According to France Bleu radio, thick puffs of smoke rise from a stained glass between the two towers of the building.
The Gothic Cathedral of Peter and Paul in Nan was already burning on January 28, 1972, after which he was closed for three years for restoration.
The BFMTV television channel noted that what is happening in Nantes resembles a fire of the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris.
A fire in the Cathedral of the Paris Mother of God occurred on April 15, 2019. France President Emmanuel Macron promised that Notre Dame would be restored in five years. At the same time, he emphasized that the cathedral after restoration should become "even more beautiful than before."
