Massive flames can be seen billowing out. The cause is not yet clear, but the structure was undergoing renovations.
"A terrible fire is underway at Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris," said mayor Anne Hidalgo. "[The Paris fire service] is trying to control the flames... I invite each and every one to respect the perimeter of security."
President Emmanuel Macron added: "Our Lady of Paris in flames. Emotion of a whole nation. Thought for all Catholics and for all French. Like all our countrymen, I'm sad tonight to see this part of us burn."
