Firefighters are battling a large blaze inside one of France's historic cathedrals.

Huge flames have been destroying the inside of Nantes' 15th-Century gothic cathedral's facade.

The fire is thought to have broken out early this morning and French police said they are helping with effort to quell the flames.

The cathedral was partly destroyed during World War Two after Allied bombings in 1944.

And in 1972, fire ravaged the roof, which was rebuilt 13 years later.

The fire comes just over a year after an enormous blaze destroyed the roof and main spire of Notre Dame cathedral in Paris.
