Description:
Description for B&B:
Until 1872, the location of this house was occupied by the gardens of the St. Laurent convent, a Benedictine convent for women. Today, the convent has been converted into apartment residences known as the Abbey.The house is conveniently located just a 5-minute walk from the Bourges Cathedral.
During the revolution, the grounds were sold, and Mr. Alphonse-Joseph Charmeil, an art teacher at the Royal Middle School of Bourges and the founder of the Bourges Museum, which he served as the curator for nearly 50 years, built this unique house in the style of Napoleon III. In 1878, he added a kiosk and two separate houses to the garden, adorned with marble decorations.
Originally, the marble decorations were part of the choir tour of the St. Pierre Le Marché church, built in 1760 and now known as the Notre-Dame church. These original decorations are still intact and have been listed as historical heritage.
