Well, French author Agnes Poirier has just written a book on the topic called &quot;Notre Dame: The Soul of France&quot; so I sat down to chat about the cathedral's past and present.&amp;nbsp;  This episode also features the voice of  Ariel Weil, the mayor of Paris Centre, to talk about the future of the cathedral.&amp;nbsp; A few links that are relevant: Find Agnes's book  here and my Book Club here. Meanwhile, Ariel Weil was also on this podcast in Season 6 episode 40. The night of the fire, I went live on Facebook here. For a shorter version, with the Parisians singing hymns, click here. For more about the fire,  here is a link to a post I wrote shortly after the incident.
