The Saint-Jacques Tower is an amazing historical monument left over from the medieval church of Saint-Jacques-la-Boucherie. Its Gothic architecture is mesmerizing.: Tall lancet windows, graceful sculptures and an atmosphere of antiquity make it one of the most picturesque sights in Paris.
Climbing the tower is a real adventure! The view from the top is stunning: a panorama of the historic center, the Seine, the Isle de la Cité and even the Eiffel Tower in the distance. The stairs are narrow and steep, but the effort is worth it.
It is especially beautiful here on a sunny day, when the stone details of the tower play with chiaroscuro, or in the evening, when the lights are turned on. There is a cozy park nearby where you can relax after climbing.
