In the hours after the fire at Notre Dame Cathedral, French President Macron said France would rebuild Notre Dame to be \u201cmore beautiful than ever".\n \nIn the days that followed, some of Frances wealthiest people promised millions of Euros to ensure that actually happened.\n \nBut the fire has awoken this country. Even some atheists have suddenly realised what this means to its Christian heritage. The French word is \u2018patrimoine\u2019 from \u2018patres\u2019 \u2013 fathers and \u2018monere\u2019 memory, the memory of our fathers.\n \nThe fire at Notre Dame shook France, but does the desire to restore it show a new affinity with religion or a chance for the country to restore some civic pride? John asks whether this has been a wake-up call for France\u2019s church and new hope for a revival of the "faith of our fathers".
