HOTEL LALLEMANT
Built just after the great fire of 1487, the Lallemant Hotel occupies several plots of land and spans the Gallo-Roman bastion that plunges the high city. It is the first Bourges building where the Renaissance style appears, still mixed with Gothic elements, hence its great architectural interest. This particular house was built for the family of Lallemant, rich ennobled traders, who have exercised important municipal loads, and have also been interested in alchemy in a less formal way: not to miss the hotel's oratory, whose ceiling to the 30 crafted casing may well represent the quest for philosopher's stone. The Hotel Lallemant, now owned by the city of Bourges, has been set up in the museum of Decorative Arts. The visit is free, an explanatory workbook is provided at the reception.
