Bourges, Cher
Just two hours from Paris, Bourges is a
sensational city to visit with a most beautiful
cathedral. It’s not on the Cathedral tourist
route for many visitors but it should be. built
between the late 12th and late 13th
centuries, is one of the great masterpieces
of Gothic art and the 13th century stainedglass
windows are exquisite. The town is full
of half-timbered houses, Roman towers and
there’s even a castle, built by Jacques Coeur,
the man who bankrolled Joan of Arc’s
missions.
