Built in the 13th century, this Gothic church offers a fascinating insight into the city's religious and architectural past.

This 13th-century Gothic edifice, located in the Auron district, is the city's only church built in the style of Saint-Étienne Cathedral, of which it is a contemporary. It has no transept, but an ambulatory with radiating chapels. Consecrated in 1230, its construction is said to have followed a miracle involving Saint Anthony of Padua and a wealthy local banker who financed it. Stained-glass windows and frescoes from the 15th and 16th centuries are on display, as is the tomb of Jacques Cujas. A must-see in addition to the cathedral.

Eglise Saint-Pierre Le Guillard 18000 Bourges
L’Église Saint-Pierre-Le-Guillard est une belle église de ville, assez massive, mais à l’intérieur malgré tout plutôt clair et agréable. Les vitraux sont nombreux, colorés et magnifiques. De même les Stations du Christ sont joliment réalisées. De beaux tableaux et des fresques en relief, même partiellement abîmées parfois, retiennent également l’attention. Cette église mérite, selon moi, la visite.
