HOTEL LALLEMANT
Go there and contact
One of the earliest witnesses to the Renaissance in Bourges, the Hôtel Lallemant combines unique architecture with alchemical mysteries.
Built after the great fire of 1487, the Hôtel Lallemant is the first building in Bourges to reflect the Renaissance style, still mixed with Gothic elements, making it an architectural gem. Built for the Lallemant family, wealthy, ennobled merchants, it also illustrates their interest in alchemy, notably through the oratory with its ceiling decorated with 30 caissons perhaps representing the quest for the philosopher's stone. Owned by the city of Bourges, the hotel, now the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, is currently closed in preparation for Bourges 2028.
