palais jacques-coeur印象
-
The financial advisor to the French King, Coeur built a fantastic townhouse arranged around a large courtyard. Most of the rooms are either not furnished, or sparsely furnished, but the interior decorations are spectacular and a number of the fireplaces and doorways are the most ornate I have ever seen, with countless rows of figures, monkeys and other animals etc . Well worth a visit or a detour if you are staying in the area.

While we agree that Palais Jacques-Coeur can be considered a little dull due to the rooms being empty of furniture, we found the paper guide in English very helpful in following the history of this architecturally beautiful building. Jacques-Coeur's attention to the architectural details in the stonework, both on the exterior and the interior of his private and much loved home, is well worth seeing...stop and look!

Do not miss the beautiful internal coutyard and if you have time the museum. One of the highlights of Bourges.

Well set out self-guided tour of this lovely building ... different language notes to help as you walk around ... shame there is little period furniture, but you can't have everything ...

Beautiful palace built by the hometown guy. My extended stay in Bourges allowed me to visit inside more than once. Lovely détail inside and out and you should not miss the interesting dusk les nuits lumière Bourges.

Going for the guided tour changes everything. This is a pretty building but, apart from one or two rooms like the chapel, is quite empty. However the tour guides fill you in on the local history which makes for a very good visit. I especially liked the ceilings which are shaped like boats - Jacques Coeur made his money in the shipping business!

I knew little about Jacques-Coeur before my visit and so I was fascinated by the detail (both written and architectural) available on this visit. Well worth the entry fee.

Its is a nice palace to visit in the city of Bourges. No furniture. just empty spaces. Quite old interior ( XVII century?). Does not worth a detour from a faraway place.

This is a magnificent chateau, yet located in the old section of the city. The carved details are fantastic, as are the mantles and fireplaces. You can visualize the people dancing and eating inside the chateau. As others have mentioned, there is no furniture, but I don't think it needs it. There are explanatory panels, so I'm not sure what one of the critics is talking about. I also carry my green Michelin guide with me that explains the various rooms.The only drawback for me was the number of circular stairs that one had to go up and down. With a bad knee, I didn't think they would ever end. There is also a nice bookshop with lots of books about life in medieval times and medieval churches and chateaux. This palace does give you a glimpse of what life must have been like hundreds of years ago.

This building is nice even if the internal decoration is pretty limited. It get a special value if the visit is associated to the story of the proprietary and of its construction. Follow a guided tour or, as a minimum, read the free leaflet.
