i've been led into the cathedral on the heels of the macron visit, and i'm conscious of being one of the privileged few who've been able to see the interior of this renovated notre dame everyone can't help but notice is the new freshness and lightness of the cathedral, and the stone. translation: what you can see now is the subtlety - of the masonry, thejoins, the way the stones are laid out. it's an interior that is no longer painted as it once was. it's natural, and the colour is the colour of the stones from this part of france. it's a long, long way from the scenes of devastation of that evening in april, with the flames engulfing the medieval roof timbers and then, the next day, the open gulf over the transept and the charred wreckage all around. president macron said he'd have it back in five years, and he has — a point he was not slow in making on american tv. make possible the unthinkable. so the impossible is not impossible, huh? definitely. it's a french motto. impossible is not french. president macron has plenty of problems at the moment. he's just lost his government, so before donald trump and his other guests today, he wants to make the new notre dame
