Itinerary
As you walk down Bourbonnoux Street, let me tell you about an iconic character in the city.
Stop here for a moment and turn to the right to observe the last building you just passed.
On your left, behind the gates, hides an old Inn, the Inn Lallemant. Today it houses the fascinating Museum of Decorative Arts.
Here you are on the seductive Place Gordaine which, with its wooden half-timbered houses, crowded terraces and shops of all kinds, is one of the liveliest and most picturesque places in Bourges!
We arrive here at the edge of the historic center of Bourges. Opposite you stands the church of Saint-Bonnet, a religious building that was built in the 13th century.
On your left you can see the Saint-Bonnet Halls, a large historic Covered Point of Sale.
Connecting Place Gordaine to Place de la Barre, Rue Mirebeau is one of Bourges’ main shopping streets.
The small passage on your right leads to the so-called Calvin space, which corresponds to the former Augustinian convent that was settled there from the 13th century.
Here you are in one of the busiest streets in the capital of Berry, but also one of the oldest.
This Inn was built in the 15th century to become the Bourges Town Inn, just after the Great Burgundy Fire that devastated the city in 1487.
This magnificent building, which boasts architecture typical of the First French Renaissance, was built in the 16th century.
Second monument after the cathedral, this magnificent palace takes us in the footsteps of Jacques Coeur, merchant, adventurer and, above all, Grand Argentier of King Charles VII from 1439.
