Saint Joan of Arc statue confirmed as a survivor of the devastating Notre Dame Cathedral fire

April 15, 2019

I have a personal photo taken when we were in Paris but this one is copied from the Internet. Thank God this statue survived and I finally have confirmation about its condition.

Notre Dame Cathedral is home to priceless relics saved from the flames

Ever since the devastating Notre Dame Cathedral fire in Paris, I have repeatedly asked if the statue of Saint Joan of Arc had survived.  I have a personal photo taken of this statue, taken when we visited the Cathedral during one of our memorable visits to Paris.  Finally, I gave up and asked "AI", on Google.  I am very happy to learn this information. No other source has given me such a succinct and accurate reply.

Yes, the marble statue of Saint Joan of Arc inside the Notre-Dame de Paris cathedral survived the devastating fire of April 15, 2019. 
While the historic wooden roof and central spire collapsed during the blaze, the interior stonework, vaulted arches, and major artworks—including the Joan of Arc statue—were protected from the flames. 

Post-Fire Details

Condition: The marble statue emerged structurally intact, though it was subjected to significant dust and soot accumulation from the heavy smoke. 

Restoration: Following the disaster, the statue was safely secured and cleaned by professional artisans as part of the massive five-year restoration effort to revitalize the cathedral's interior. 

Historical Significance: Created by sculptor Charles Desvergnes, the statue was placed in the cathedral to commemorate her beatification, which took place right inside Notre-Dame in 1909. 

Thank you Saint Joad of Arc.
