Assassin’s Creed Unity’s replica of Notre-Dame could help recreate the real thing

Notre-Dame de Paris may have been damaged by yesterday’s fire, but the French government is determined to rebuild her. It may have a resource from an unexpected source: none other than the quasi-historical stab-athon, Assassin’s Creed Unity.
The Assassin’s Creed series uses real places as the settings for its story of two gangs of murderers taking it in turns to slice each other up. Whatever else you can say about the games, the developers have obviously put a great deal of research and time into the recreations of real world locations — to the point where they included an exploratory mode in AC Origins called Discovery Tour (or Magic School Bus Mode, as I like to call it) where players can leisurely view and examine all the historical details in the game.
