Saint-Jacques du Haut-Pas () is a Roman Catholic parish church in Paris, France. The cathedral is located at the corner of Rue Saint-Jacques and Rue de l'Abbé de l'Épée in the 5th arrondissement of Paris. The church has been registered as a historical monument since 4 June 1957. Origins The land on which the church is built was obtained around 1180 by the Order of Saint James of Altopascio. In 1360 the order built a simple chapel.

At that time the land around them was fields and meadows with a few low peasant houses and some religious institutions. In 1572 Catherine de' Medici decided to use the site as home for a group of Benedictine monks who had been expelled from their abbey of Saint-Magloire. The relics of St. Magloire of Dol and his disciples had been transported to Paris by Hugh Capet in 923, when the Normans attacked Brittany. The relics were transferred to th ...
