Added by Bart Perdieus
General Description The Tour Saint-Jacques (French pronunciation: ​[tuʁ sɛ̃ ʒak], 'Saint James's Tower') is a monument located in the 4th arrondissement of Paris, France, at the intersection of Rue de Rivoli with Rue Nicolas Flamel. 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 butchers"), which was demolished in 1797, during the French Revolution, leaving only the tower.[2]

What remains of the destroyed church of Saint-Jacques-de-la-Boucherie is now considered a national historic landmark.
