Tour St. Jacques
June, 2017
The tower fell into terrible disrepair, shown here before restoration in 2013. It is now more gothic than gothic, i.e., exceedingly flamboyant. The tower is what remains from an 11th-century chapel that grew into a large cathedral. It was destroyed in the mid 19th-century 3rd revolution, its stone sold for money to go into state coffers.
