A fire has broken out at the famous Notre-Dame cathedral in Paris, firefighters say.<\/p>\n

The cause is not yet clear, but officials say it could be linked to renovation work.<\/p>\n

Images on social media show plumes of smoke billowing into the air above the 850-year-old Gothic building.<\/p>\n

Last year, the Catholic Church in France launched an urgent appeal for funds to save the cathedral, which was starting to crumble.<\/p>\n

A major operation is under way to tackle the blaze, which broke out on Monday afternoon, and an area surrounding the building in central Paris has been cleared, officials said.<\/p>\n
