In photos: Aftermath of the fire that devastated Notre-Dame in Paris
French investigators probing the devastating blaze at Notre-Dame Cathedral questioned workers who were renovating the monument on April 16, as hundreds of millions of euros were pledged to restore the historic masterpiece. As firefighters put out the last smouldering embers, a host of French billionaires and companies stepped forward with offers of cash worth around 600 million euros ($680 million) to remake the iconic structure.
