TheTour Saint-Jacques, \'Saint James\'s Tower\') is a monument located in the4th arrondissement of Paris, France, at the intersection ofRue de Rivoliwith Rue Nicolas Flamel. This 52-metre (171ft)Flamboyant Gothictoweris 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 theFrench Revolution, leaving only the tower.What remains of the destroyed church of Saint-Jacques-de-la-Boucherie is now considered a national historic landmark. The closestmétrostation isChâtelet.

The tower\'s rich decoration reflects the wealth of its patrons, the wholesalebutchersof the nearbyLes Hallesmarket. The masons in charge were Jean de Felin, Julien Ménart and Jean de Revier.

With a dedication toSaint James the Greater, the ancient churchand its landmark tower welcomed pilgrims setting out on the road that led toToursand headed for theWay of St James, which led to the major pilgrimage destination ofSantiago de Compostela. A relic of the saint preserved in the church linked it the more strongly and in modern times occasioned its listing in 1998 as aWorld Heritage SitebyUNESCOamong the sites and structures marking thechemins de Compostelle, the pilgrimage routes in France that led like tributaries of a great stream headed towards Santiago in the northwest of
