Spire of Notre Dame Cathedral in central Paris collapsed in a huge fire on Monday afternoon after a fire broke out at around 1700 GMT, according to French media.
As it shows on China Central Television, dense smoke billowed from the top of the cathedral and huge flames between its two bell towers and ravaged the monument's roofing.
It is still not confirmed whether the blaze was related to ongoing renovation works carried out at the medieval cathedral, one of the capital's tourist magnets.
Some 400 firefighters were still fighting at the site to put the fire under control.
No casualties have been reported yet.
Following the blaze, President Emmanuel Macron, due to give a speech at 1800 GMT, delayed his TV appearance during which he intends to unveil a new batch of measures to quell social rebellion, his office said, without giving further details.
"Notre Dame de Paris in flames. Emotion of a whole nation. Thought for all Catholics and for all French. Like all our compatriots, I am sad tonight to see this part of us burning," Macron wrote in a tweet.
