Book the Jacques Coeur Palace, a jewel of medieval architecture

The "Grant'Maison" of Jacques Coeur, King Charles VII's treasurer, built in the middle of the 15th century, is a rare testimony of a medieval civil residence. The Jacques Coeur Palace is a moving and grandiose example of Renaissance architecture in France.

Jacques Coeur, a romantic character with a fascinating destiny, opens the doors of this unique place to you. As a nobleman who knew how to defy every obstacle due to his rank, he conceived his palace as a place of rare magnificence. This is evidenced, for example, by the Great Hall of pomp and circumstance, with its monumental fireplace. In this Hall of Festivities, there was even a tribune to welcome the musicians. One should also note the details of the front facade to the west, in the purest flamboyant gothic style.

Located in the heart of downtown Bourges, the Palais Jacques Coeur presents a succession of rooms with a rich decor, organized around an interior courtyard. A remarkable example of a medieval residence ideally located in the heart of the city to serve as a showcase for your meetings and receptions.

A place for flamboyant receptions

The Palais Jacques Coeur, a sublime civil testimony of the flamboyant Gothic style, has been the superb embodiment of the city of Bourges since 1443 and has made its history shine. This former residence of King Charles VIII's treasurer is the most prestigious address in the city, a stone's throw from the Gallo-Roman walls of Avaricum.

The Palais Jacques Coeur offers you Spaces available to hire out of the ordinary. The richly sculpted banqueting room invites your business dinner guests to take the time to relax. As for the inner courtyard, a true jewel of venues, it is the ideal place for a conference or a launch in great pomp, as the Master of the Mints himself would have done.

This is quiet unique and huge. It was a private home. But the owner was even richer than the king. And exact that's it how it looks - posh. But the selfguided tour, I recommend the audioguide for 3€, is it worth. The rooms are mostly clean, but some are really nice painted or have wooden ceilings. You have to climb a bit stairs, but take your time. I spend 2 hours, but 1 hour is absolutely makeable to see all rooms. If you want deeper info to some points the guide has a green button, I didn't use it, but its surly your chouce🙂.

The rooms aren't decorated with furniture and art. However, for us, we felt it would have distracted us from the real gems of the palace. Which is the architecture and carvings. You need to look closely to spot some of the carvings.

Exquisite palace, big and lavish. Unfortunately only sad thing is that you can see architecture and building materials but all the rooms are very empty, some places have a few furniture items, some only pictures of objects, so the space seems too unoccupied, other than that it is a marvel!

Although I don't know much about architectural styles, I know about this palace that it fascinated me. The beauty of the facade of the inner courtyard simply takes your breath away. I went to visit it on a Thursday morning, I don't like it when it's crowded, I love to admire these beauties in peace. The price was €8. Although there is not much furniture in the palace rooms, it makes up for it with architectural details that are amazing. I couldn't wait to open the next door and be amazed by the beauty that surrounds me.
