UNESCO ready to 'save and restore' Notre-Dame

The United Nations' cultural agency, which is based in Paris, said Monday that it "stood at France's side to save and restore" the cathedral, describing it as "a priceless heritage".

Audrey Azoulay, secretary general of UNESCO, said the agency was monitoring the effort to put out the blaze, which has consumed the iconic church's spire as flames spread across the roof.

Crucial to what, je me demande...

Crucial as to what can be saved, if the building can be saved or not.
