voluntary Fire, electrical accident ? Three days after the fire in Nantes cathedral, the investigation on Tuesday was marked by the same uncertainty about the origin of the disaster. A 39-year-old volunteer for the diocese was taken into police custody on Saturday. On Friday night, the investigators wanted to hear the conditions for the closure of the cathedral, because on Saturday, after the fire, no traces of a thief were found at the access to the building. But the man was released on Sunday night, “without further charges,” the public prosecutor for the Republic of Nantes, Pierre Sennès, said on Sunday.
Investigations by the judicial police continue, in which experts from the forensic laboratory and fire-fighting techniques participate, to try to determine the origin of the damage, and as part of the investigation opened for “fire”.
The three firing points are separated.
The investigation revealed the existence of three separate fire points in the Cathedral of Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul. “Between the large organ, which is in front of the first floor, and the other lights, you have almost the entire route of the cathedral. They are still distanced from each other,” the prosecutor said on Saturday.

Jean-Yves Magnier, sacristan of the cathedral, who was interviewed on Monday, out of the way of the electrical short. “That was one of my first feelings. Of the things that stick together (…) I have electrical problems that recur frequently, not every week, but they do recur frequently. So, in my opinion, there are things to deepen.” , he identified the person responsible for the maintenance of the premises.
The report was made on Saturday at 7:45 am by passers-by who saw flames coming out of the cathedral. It took firefighters about two hours to contain the blaze, which destroyed a 19th-century painting by Hippolyte Flandrin and a large organ. This organ is placed on a platform built in 1620, which is accessed by a 66-step staircase.

If the investigation allowed the investigators to access the locations of the two sources of fire at the level of the altar and the nave, they still could not access the platform, weakened by the fire, and therefore the great organ.
The goal of rapid rebuild
apart from the great organ, “very few or none of the items will be stored”, according to Philippe Charron, head of heritage for the DRAC (regional authority for cultural affairs), “most of the works were saved” and installed “especially in the castle of Nantes”. “We will count the security of the place in weeks, (…) in months of the investigation, which will be done stone by stone” and, during the reconstruction works preceded by the study phase, “on the other hand, the unit will be there for a year said Philippe Charon.
