external show black smoke billowing
from a canopy and scaffolding at the
top of the building, which is about
150m (495ft) tall.

The blaze has now been contained,
according to officials.

The fire's "origin is unknown at this point",
mayor Nicolas Mayer-Rossignol said, adding
that "all public resources" had
been mobilised in response.

The Our Lady of the Assumption cathedral
