Galerie Vivienne

  "Galerie Vivienne, built in 1823, is one of the most iconic covered arcades in Paris. In a peaceful location, behind the Bibliothèque Richelieu and near the Palais-Royal, it's definitely worth a visit. Visitors can admire the colourful mosaics on the ground and then lift their eyes to appreciate the beautiful glass roof which lets in the light. There are many of shops: ready-to-wear boutiques, tea rooms, gourmet food boutiques, wine cellars, grocery shops, old bookshops and much more. You can also access Galerie Vivienne via Rue de la Banque and Rue Vivienne."   Source: https://parisjetaime.com/eng/culture/galerie-vivienne-p1588

Tour Saint-Jacques

Saint-Jacques Tower in paris - jean-Louis Bouzou

"This tower is the only remnant of a church, the original Saint-Jacques-de-la-Boucherie (Saint Jacques of the Butchery), owing its name and function to the foundation of a chapel by the Confederation of Butchers in the 12th century. The main body of the church disappeared towards the end of the 18th century when it was destroyed, and its stones sold."
