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 area is known as the Residences of the Abbey, consisting of apartments. 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 founder of the Bourges Museum, which he curated for almost 50 years, built this unique house in the style of Napoleon III. In 1878, he added a kiosk and two detached houses with exquisite marble decorations to the garden.
Originally, the marble decoration was part of the choir tour of the St Pierre Le Marché church, which was built in 1760 and is now known as the Notre-Dame church. This original marble decoration still remains intact and is a registered historical feature of the house.
