Things to see and do Central

Situated on the Jacques Coeur road, this feudal castle was fortified by Gillon de Seuly, founder of the city, at the end of the th century. Surrounded by a moat, surrounded by round towers, a dungeon and dominated by a pond, it is furnished and inhabited but opened to the public. Count Jean of Ogny, owner of the castle, opened his doors and commented on his own visit to the residence where the lords of La Chapelle-d'Angillon, princes of Boisbelle, but also Sully, Princess of Albret, Princess of Kleve (who served as a model to Ms de La Fayette for her famous novel), Gonzague prince of Boisbelle or the Duke from Nevers. Inside, the visit allows you to see all the pieces, distributed by narrow stairs. This romantic castle houses a unique and quite astonishing collection in Europe on the th century Albania. Sunday mass can be seen in the beautiful castle chapel traditionally celebrated every Sunday at 10 pm. Reception is worthy of the great hospital tradition. The passions of the owners animate these places and they will make you discover their coups. The castle can be rented for weddings or other ceremonies.

Created in 1961, Maison Laudacius (formerly Cave des Producteurs) is a group of 18 passionate winegrowers working on 170 hectares of vines in the respect of tradition and with the main objective of quality products. Audio video guided visit and free tastings are offered in a superb authentic setting, where everyone can appreciate the families of AOC Montlouis-sur-Loire, Touraine and Crémant-de-Loire wines: sparkling wines and still white wines. Personalized and friendly welcome, a nice visit !

Entering the Marais is open space and space. You are here in private gardens, stroked by channels, classified as UNESCO's Natural Heritage. We live here at another pace. But to avoid losing, especially at night, better take a plan at the Office de toursime or opt for a guided visit to observe the fauna and flora and understand the history of this place that nourished Bourges and failed the army of Caesar. Do not think of taking a boat to walk on the water because here they are rare and belong to the gardeners who use them to join their parcel.

Magic. This guided tour is in many ways. Born of a brilliant idea, this two-time night visit brings light to honour. During the first part, it is with Gilles Fresson, a co-ordinating officer with the Rector of the Cathedral, that you are invited to rediscover the building… in the light of candles. Thus you wander through the crypts then in the silent cathedral and dive in the darkness as if you were pilgrims of the Middle Ages. During the visit, Gilles Fresson tells you the history, legends and mysteries surrounding the cathedral. Then you get out of the building and you turn off candles to enjoy, in a second part and a guide from the tourist office, some of the sites illuminated in the context of "Chartres in Enlightenment". The scenes of this festival, its technical aspects and the artistic work of Xavier de Richemont (author of the lighting Designs) will no longer have secrets for you… In sum, during this visit you will learn to see the cathedral and the city otherwise, and you will leave with stars full of eyes.
