Highlights and Useful Information
Click Paris and read about the "Tour Saint Jacques" in Paris. This 16th-century tower is all that's left of the former church of Saint Jacques de la Boucherie (St. James of the Butcher's Quarter), traditionally the starting point of pilgrimages from Paris to Saint Jacques de Compostelle (Santiago de Compostela) in Spain. Another article commissioned by Paris Notes traces the pilgrimage route, also known as The Way of Saint James, across Paris on Rue Saint-Jacques.
