Bourganeuf is a medieval town sometimes nicknamed "the city of light" because this small town was the third French town to have electricity. Bourganeuf is home to many historic buildings and monuments. The town hall also organizes guided tours of the city.

Bourganeuf is a small medieval town created by the Hospitallers. It is also the third city in France to have seen the appearance of electricity, hence its nickname the city of lights. The town even houses an electrification museum, in addition to its castle, its church and its characteristic Zizim tower.
