Bourges Audio Tour: Echoes of Art, Power, and Legends in Couronne Centrale

Audio guide14 stops

Sprawling stone gargoyles peer down from Bourges above winding medieval streets, keeping watch over centuries of secrets and ambition. Embark on a self-guided audio tour that peels back the layers of history in Couronne Centrale, guiding you through grand cathedrals, elite palaces, and quiet courtyards most visitors never notice. Which midnight plot echoed beneath the soaring arches of Saint-Étienne Cathedral? What treasure vanished within the shadowy halls of Palais Jacques-Cœur? Why did a painted ceiling in Hotel Lallemant spark outrage in its age? Lose yourself in swirling tales of power, faith, greed, and audacious vision, as every step reveals bold rivalries and forgotten scandals. The city transforms beneath your feet, stone by stone, story by story, promising Bourges as you have never seen it before. Trace the restless spirit of Bourges history. Begin your journey where the gargoyles still watch and nothing is ever quite as it seems.
