Le Figaro have a newly published photograph from inside Notre Dame shortly before the roof collapsed, as molten lead fell into the nave. (+)
This is what I love about photojournalism. It is just a history of moments where human beings have gone âI know I should really be hauling ass out of here but I have to get a picture of thisâ
I was finally able to source this photo! Itâs from Le Figaro Magazine, âThe Incredible Story of the Firefighter General of Paris: Our Unpublished Photos,â from November 1st, 2019. Canât find a specific credit for the photographer, which is too bad, but I have been skeptical it was a real image; up to now I couldnât find a primary source Googling.
How did I finally find it? By Googling in French, on French Google.

Thank you for finding a source name at least, it allowed me to find the articles to link. I also had my doubts.
