(Re)discover the essentials at your own pace
Our cathedral is undeniably a must-see during your stay in Bourges. From the Jardin de l'Archevêché, you can contemplate its presence and observe the Pelican which overlooks its bell tower. Leaving the park, meet in front of the 5 gates of Saint-Etienne Cathedral. It will surprise you with its width, making it the most impressive cathedral in France. Take one of its portals to enter and discover its interior. The winter light that passes through its stained glass windows gives it a multitude of hues depending on the time of day. Each visit is unique… A good reason to visit it more than once!
Take rue Porte Jaune for a breathtaking view of the cathedral's Tour de Beurre and go down to Place Gordaine to discover a fine collection of half-timbered houses, a sign of the town's medieval past.
Take advantage of the fullness of the marshes
Winter is sometimes gloomy… However, an important life is teeming, especially in the marshes! So, we put on our boots and let's go! The morning mist gives the swamps a mysterious vibe. At the bend of a tree, we take the time to observe the many birds that inhabit this protected area. The few rays of sun that pierce the trees warm the atmosphere: you can then observe Bourges Cathedral in the distance, which overlooks the city. You will surely meet the regulars of the place, who, even in freezing weather, maintain their plot of land as guardians of the marshes.
