What travelers say:
Santa Jacques Tower is a part of the formation that was retained. Now facing the front square and the busy city, it seems a little isolated and incongruous. The tower is more majestic, and it will pass from Notre Dame to the Louvre.

Santa Jacques Tower is a part of the formation that was retained. Now facing the front square and the busy city, it seems a little isolated and incongruous. The tower is more majestic, and it will pass from Notre Dame to the Louvre.
The only remaining remains of the 16th century Church of St. Jacques, which was demolished during the French Revolution in 1797, left only the towers. The remaining parts of the church were sold as building materials, the towers became shooting towers, and were later used to make ammunition. It was bought back in 1836 by the city of Paris and declared a French historical monument in 1862, and the towers were no longer alone.
Santa Jacques Tower is a very tall and distinctive monument, and it is a relatively tall building in the city of Paris. It has been more than 300 years of history and is a landmark in the city of Paris. You must remember to stop and watch it when you pass by.
