An appeal to stop the controversial installation of contemporary stained glass windows atNotre Dame Cathedral is moving forward in a Paris municipal court ahead of its planned end-of-year deadline, reports Le Parisien.The legal action taken by the heritage organization Sites & Monuments asks the court to cancel the commission of artist Claire Tabouret, which was announced last month, on the grounds that it violates laws governing world cultural heritage site protection. This has been a rallying cry against architectural 'vandalism' since the plan was announced in late 2023. Eugne Viollet-le-Duc'soriginal windows were undamaged in the 2019 blaze.Tabouret also related her experience with the commission and their bearings on the recent Los Angeles fires this weekend to the New York Times.
