" The Tour Saint-Jacques is a masterpiece of Gothic architecture, standing tall at 52 meters (171 feet). It was once part of a church, but the church itself was demolished in the 18th century, leaving only the tower. It was originally built in the 16th century as a starting point for pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago (Way of St. James) pilgrimage to Spain. It served as a meeting point for those embarking on this spiritual journey."
"Personally, one of my fav viewpoint of Paris!Not accessible to all, be ready to climb up the steps! The Tour Saint-Jacques stands alone in the middle of a little garden of the same name. A tower in the flamboyant Gothic style, built between 1509 and 1523, the Tour Saint-Jacques is the only remaining vestige of the Eglise Saint-Jacques-de-la-Boucherie destroyed in 1797."
