City of Art and History, Bourges has a rich architectural heritage. The Saint-Etienne cathedral built in the 13th century is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This cathedral of Gothic architecture is extremely unusual in that it does not possess a transept. Its ancient stained glass windows as well as the sculptures of its central portal are awe-inspiring. Nearby, the flower garden of the Archbishop's Palace is a quiet and peaceful place offering a magnificent view of the Saint-Etienne cathedral. The visit of Bourges continues with the famous Jacques-Coeur palace, a civil building of the 15th century of late Gothic style. Strolling through the old town is very pleasant with its paved narrow streets lined with half-timbered houses, its Gothic and Renaissance hotels, as well as its small squares decorated with cafés and the shops in the pedestrian streets. The city is renowned for its famous music festival that takes place in April, the “Printemps de Bourges”. |
