Tour Saint-Jacques, Paris, France

The first time I visited Paris, more than 20 years ago, I saw it. I kept that image in mind and I wondered what the history was behind this medieval tower in the center of Paris.

Later a found out that it was a bell tower of a medieval church : "Saint-Jacques-de-la-Boucherie".
It was built in the Sixteenth century and destroyed during the French Revolution. The tower is the only remaining part of the building, just because it had a functional use for experiments and, at that time, it was one of the tallest buildings in the city.

I love the view of it in the middle of the city, the white stone and the little park which Parisian kids play in.
