A little bit of history
The Marais de Bourges are a unique place, offering a natural getaway in the heart of the city. They are among the last market gardening marshes in France.
In ancient times, the marshes were a natural defense surrounding Bourges in the form of a marshy area before being divided into several individual plots for individuals from the 17th century.
Enchanted stroll through the Marshes
Starting in May, explore the Bourges Marshes aboard a traditional boat and enjoy a relaxing moment just a stone's throw from the city center. A veritable green lung, discover nearly 135 hectares of cultivated gardens surrounded by rivers and canals. Guided by a "bourdeur," who will tell you the anecdotes and history of this exceptional site to be preserved, you can admire the natural beauty of the marshes, observe the fauna and flora up close, and let yourself be lulled by the soothing rhythm of the water.
