What do you see at the Tour Saint-Jacques?
At the Tour Saint-Jacques you see a richly decorated bell tower in the Flamboyant Gothic style, standing on its own in a public garden. It is all that remains of a church that once stood here, which is why the tower looks a little lost among the surrounding streets.
Look up and take in the carved pinnacles, the gargoyles and the statues near the top. The garden around the base, the Square de la Tour Saint-Jacques, is a calm spot with benches between busy Châtelet and the Hôtel de Ville. The tower is also linked to the old pilgrim route to Santiago de Compostela.

Which City Game passes the Tour Saint-Jacques Paris?
Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Paris starts its route at the Tour Saint-Jacques and then leads you into the streets of the Marais. One of the Secrets of Paris routes passes the tower as well.
On the Sherlock trail, the tower is where you pick up the first clues. From there the case takes you past the Musée de l'Illusion Paris, then to the colourful Fontaine Stravinsky and on towards Le Centre Pompidou.
