		</div><p>The first eight oak trees destined to replace the destroyed spire of Notre Dame cathedral have been selected from the Berce forest in the French Loire region, church officials said.</p>
<p>The 96-metre spire was completely destroyed in the fire that ravaged the Paris monument in 2019.</p>
<p>It was designed by architect Viollet-le-Duc in 1859.</p>
<p>“It is a source of pride for the foresters of the National Forestry Office to participate in the rebirth of Notre-Dame de Paris,” said Forestry Office director Bertrand Munch.</p>
<p>The first oaks measure around one metre in diameter.</p>
<p>Officials said the 1,000 oaks that are needed to fully rebuild the spire are all scheduled to be cut by the end of March.</p>
