That would be the architectural equivalent of this:

On the other hand it was the French who gave us post-modernism and a
love of fragmentation and the simulacrum, so perhaps it's not a bad idea.
Apparently a US researcher recently laser-scanned the whole thing, so
maybe we could just 3D-print a new one, in resin made from harvested ocean
plastic.

It took 182 years to build it the first time, so if it takes longer
than 5 years for the repairs that's not such a big deal.
Carpenters can be trained. If it takes 40 years to rebuild it, that's a
career.
The oak might be another problem, but I expect the oak will be replaced
with some kind of engineered wood beams. Nor will it surprise me if there's
a lot of international support for the reconstruction.

French people are saying 'typical Macron, promising something when he
has no idea whether it is possible or not'. One article i read suggests
that it will take up to 40 years. The bishop has already said it will be
closed for at least 5 or 6.
One of the problems is that there aren't enough oak trees or
carpenters with the right skills

Thanks to all who commented or had a look. In the hours since this
tragedy it’s become obvious that the cathedral can be restored. I will take
year -- Macron says 5 years — but it will be worth the wait.

I’m catholic only by birth not by practice, but watching Notre Dame
burn last night was crushing. I immediately recalled how I was overwhelmed
by the majesty and history of this ancient cathedral when I visited it on a
spring afternoon in 2003. Extending a business trip by a day, I wandered
the streets of Paris with my Leica iiif RD and Summicron 50/2 Collapsible,
alternately shooting tribute-x and Portra 400. I had the color neg film
loaded when I stopped in the cathedral and captured a few images as best I
could, given the faded mirror of my Leica and the dim lighting. Yesterday,
I wondered what had become of those images. I found an envelope that
contained the negatives and camera store prints and scanned a few of the
negatives. Today, I assembled a small gallery.
