Tour Saint-Jacques

On this original 2-hour tour your Private Guide will take you back in time to 19th-century France to examine the political and social issues and the artistic trends of Victor Hugo’s time. Take a walk through the Old Town and see Saint James’s Tower (Tour Saint-Jacques), which is all that remains of the medieval church of Saint-Jacques-de-la-Boucherie, pillaged and destroyed by French revolutionaries. As the French Revolution is the theme of one of Hugo’s most popular novels, ‘Les Misérables’, it's a great place to learn about its historical background.
