Jacques Cœur Palace

Highlight • Historical Site

The building constructed by Jacques Cœur between 1443 and 1451 is one of the earliest examples of a civil Gothic residence, a symbol of the success of the wealthy merchant who became King Charles VII's treasurer. He wanted it to be "beautiful, grand and magnificent," with 43 rooms, 8 staircases, and 4,000m2.
He built his Bourges residence on the Gallo-Roman wall, on the boundary between the upper and lower towns, with two distinct street facades: an austere, fortified one, and aflamboyant, richly decorated one

Marais de Bourges Gardens

Highlight • Natural

The Marais de Bourges form a superb space for relaxation and nature near the old town. Partially dedicated to urban agriculture and leisure (jogging, fishing ...), these marshes are protected under the regime of "natural monuments and sites".
