"Quasimodo will be very disappointed"
In this week's comments update, readers are angered by designs proposed to replace Notre-Dame Cathedral's destroyed spire.
In with the old: since the fire devastated Notre-Dame Cathedral designers have been offering alternative proposals to replace its spire, but they haven't all been well received.

Trying to put some modern spin on this would be an utter travesty." "It would be better to leave it as a historical pile of rubble rather than modernise it," agreed Doug Lough. "The only modern addition that would acceptable would be fire sprinklers."
