Tips

The building constructed by Jacques Cœur between 1443 and 1451 is one of the earliest examples of a civil Gothic residence, a symbol of the success of the wealthy merchant who became King Charles VII's treasurer. He wanted it to be "beautiful, grand and magnificent," with 43 rooms, 8 staircases, and 4,000m2.
He built his Bourges residence on the Gallo-Roman wall, on the boundary between the upper and lower towns, with two distinct street facades: an austere, fortified one, and aflamboyant, richly decorated one

Magnificent house (palace!) almost 600 years old in an exceptional state of preservation. Jacques Cœur will never live there! Guided tour essential 👍

In the historic center of Bourges, City of Art and History, the Palais Jacques Cœur is one of the most sumptuous buildings of 15th century civil architecture. A masterpiece of flamboyant Gothic. It combines the Gothic repertoire, royal symbolism, elements of Jacques Cœur's coat of arms and realistic representations of daily life. From February 2025 to June 2026, conservation and restoration work will be undertaken on the tower of the causeway. This work will lead to the closure of the attic, the treasure room and the aldermen's room. Thus, the tour route will be modified and a specific rate will be applied.
