Actually, the structural damage is limited, lot of the interior was quickly moved-out.
Take my word for it, it'll be rebuilt just as the Germans rebuilt the Frauenkirche in Dresden which was bombed in WW2 and 100% destroyed. They rebuilt it from scratch with the stones on hand which was a remarkable project facilitated by IBM determining where each rock originally fit.
All the rest came from the original quarry. They even have an original Andreas Baehr organ. It was the church for which Bach wrote all of his organ music for. So if you want to know how Bach's music sounded as intended by the master, go to Dresden.
Detail, it was rebuilt in the 90-ies, 50 years after the war. The rubble lay there all that time, The DDR folks wanted to use it as building materials but people in Dresden managed to thwart that for half a century. Nevertheless the stones had suffered from fire and from 50 years of just sitting there.
The Notre Dame will be rebuilt, gonna be a matter of French pride.
