Historique
Tour de l'ancienne église Saint-Jacques de la Boucherie. La plus ancienne mention de l'église date de 1060. La construction du clocher s'échelonne de 1509 à 1525, date à laquelle sont installées douze cloches. Ornementation de style gothique flamboyant. En 1797, l'église est vendue comme carrière, mais une clause interdit la démolition du clocher.

History
Tower of the former church of Saint-Jacques de la Boucherie. The oldest mention of the church dates from 1060. The construction of the bell tower spans from 1509 to 1525, the date when twelve bells were installed. Ornamentation in flamboyant Gothic style. In 1797, the church was sold as a quarry, but a clause prohibited the demolition of the bell tower. In 1836, it was purchased by the City and devoted to the embellishment of the future rue de Rivoli (refurbishment of the four openings, reorganisation of the plan, repairs to the façades, closing of the openings with stained-glass windows executed by Stanislas Oudinot). In 1854, a decree authorised the creation of a square around the building. In 1891, a meteorological station was installed.
