Much more than a city lake... This large lake appears to be a nature reserve, but it was artificially created in the 1970s as a water buffer and recreation area for Bourges. It has since grown into a green oasis where you can spot a surprising number of migratory birds. An added bonus: in summer, concerts and events are regularly held around the lake.

The Romanesque-style village church was built in the 12th century in honor of the monk Dulcardus, Saint Doulchard. The first work of staking out the plasterwork led to some astonishing discoveries. They revealed, especially inside the church, white stones in more or less good condition as well as "pink" stones, the result of a very old fire that destroyed the building. Berry passages were also revealed on each side of the nave as well as a small secondary chapel or apse. This was located behind the choir and was walled up and unused. Having no historical interest, this partition was removed to restore the chapel to its original appearance.

Walking around Lake Auron is one of the locals' favorite activities. With its 5.5 km circumference, it is an ideal loop for family walks as well as for experienced athletes. Connected to the city center by the green ring road, whether walking, running or cycling, the layout is suitable for all styles of walks. It is not uncommon to come across migratory birds that have taken up residence on the island on your way. The geese and ducks have their own beach, not shy, they will welcome you.

Majestic, it dominates the city of Bourges. The Saint-Étienne Cathedral, listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO since 1992, is unique in its design. A masterpiece of Gothic art, admirable for its proportions and the unity of its design, it bears witness to the power of Christianity in medieval France. When you take a look at this large ship, you can only be surprised by the length of its nave and the absence of a transept, which mark its uniqueness. The Cathedral houses a rare set of stained glass windows dating from the 13th to the 17th century. Climb the 396 steps of the north tower or "Butter Tower"; at the top of it offers a surprising perspective of the cathedral and a panoramic view of the city. Accessible only in July and August.
