Tour Saint-Jacques - Paris, France - Shot Towers on Waymarking.com

[FR] Les cinquante mètres du clocher sont suffisants pour que les gouttes de plomb refroidissent et forment des billes à l'arrivée.

Clocher de style gothique flamboyant, la tour Saint-Jacques constitue le seul vestige de l'église Saint-Jacques-de-la-Boucherie, dédiée à saint Jacques le Majeur.

[EN] This 52-metre (171 ft) Flamboyant Gothic tower is all that remains of the former 16th-century Church of Saint-Jacques-de-la-Boucherie ("Saint James of the butchery"), which was leveled shortly after the French Revolution.

The church, with the exception of the tower, was demolished in 1793; preservation of the tower was a condition of the contract by which the church was bought for the value of its building materials.
