  • This 160 foot-tall tower was built from 1508 to 1522. It was originally part of a church, but now just this Gothic tower remains. It sits in the center of a small park with few tourists.

    There is a statue of the scientist Pascal here, because he performed experiments at this location.

    Tour St Jacques is located just north of Notre Dame on the corner of Rue de Rivoli and Boulevard de Sebastopol. The closest station is RER Chatelet.

     Hi Jr, “Eat only at McDonald's & Starbucks”- That would be a CRIME ! Gr8 tips & pics on things to do in Paris, I can’t wait to go in Spring. Your Metro & RER tips were most helpful, I’ll return to this site for research before our trip !!! Nancy : )

     Looks like you made very good use of your two brief visits to Paris. You'll be happy to learn that some of toilets in Paris are free now, just one of the many improvements made by the current mayor since his election six years ago.

     A mad dash across 10 lanes of traffic, huh? Talk of suicidal...

     Hi Joe! Great job on your Paris-page, I really enjoyed reading! Unfortunately I missed the boat-trip when I was there, but I guess that's a reason to go back...? /Henrik
