I don't think this story checks out. I'm sure they have some eligible oaks at Versailles but the roof needs ~13,000 of them. Hence why they called the latticework 'the forest'.
The largest oak forest operator in France has offered to find the trees needed: https://mobile.francetvinfo.fr/culture/patrimoine/incendie-de-notre-dame-de-paris/notre-dame-de-paris-un-exploitant-forestier-francais-offre-du-bois-pour-la-reconstruction_3400571.html#xtref=https://www.google.com/ https://mobile.francetvinfo.fr/culture/patrimoine/incendie-d...

- count 8y agoThe Versailles oaks are for the Steeple only, not the whole roof (which needs the 13k).
