English version:

Let me introduce myself: I’m Fabienne. Sev calls me "Sa Petite Dame". She says everything seems so peaceful around me, that I'm relaxed, listening, and very easy going. I was born during the chaos of Notre Dame, and I helped her to soothe her mind. I felt the tumult in her heart as she was getting me dressed. I felt a slight tremor in her hands as she was doing my hair. When her eyes crossed mine, I saw the reflection of the flames that her tears were trying to soothe. So, I watched her intensely with my glass eyes. And I thought hope was there, that history was that, with its ups and downs. That life depends on our vision of things, the way we react, our interactions. We must be strong to have the right reflexes. The fire knights had that tenacity that allowed La Belle to stay upright ... Let's be proud. Our Lady is there, and her story will continue to accompany and enchant us.

sincerely,

Fabienne

Version française:

Je me présente: Fabienne. Sev m’a surnommée “Sa Petite Dame”. Elle dit que tout semble si paisible près de moi, que je suis reposante, à l’écoute, et très facile à vivre. Je suis née pendant le chaos de Notre-Dame, et je l’ai aidée à apaiser son esprit. Elle a du ressenti. J’ai senti le tumulte dans son coeur pendant qu’elle me parait. J’ai ressenti un léger tremblement dans ses mains pendant qu’elle me coiffait. Quand son regard a croisé le mien, j’ai vu le reflet des flammes que ses larmes tentaient d’apaiser. Alors, je l’ai regardée, intensément, avec mes yeux de verre. Et je me suis dit que l’espoir était là, que l’histoire c’était ça, avec ses hauts et ses bas. Que la vie dépend de notre vision des choses, de la façon dont nous réagissons, de nos intéractions.

Nous devons être forts pour avoir les bons réflexes. Les hommes du feu ont eu cette ténacité qui a permis à La Belle de rester debout… Restons fiers. Notre-Dame est bien là, et son histoire continuera à nous accompagner et à nous enchanter.

Bien à vous,

Fabienne
