A blend of architecture, municipal history and modern art, the Hôtel des Échevins de Bourges is a must-see.

Built in 1489 on the remains of the great fire of 1487, the Hôtel des Échevins stands on the Gallo-Roman walls of Bourges. This Gothic civil building, influenced by the Palais Jacques-Cœur, was the seat of the town council for three centuries. Restored, it now houses a museum dedicated to Maurice Estève, the famous painter from the Berry region and a major figure in the Nouvelle École de Paris, recognized by his elders such as Matisse and Picasso. During the Nuits Lumière festival, its facades become the stage for magical projections.

Bel édifice que vous trouverez effectivement fermé en ce moment (octobre 2023) mais sa façade et ses ornements sculptés vous interpelleront, à remarquer la sculpture moderne dans sa cour.

Hôtel des Echevins 18000 Bourges
L’Hôtel des Echevins accueille la collection du peintre Maurice Estève à Bourges. C’est un bâtiment magnifique, extrêmement ouvragé extérieurement et bien mis en valeur, selon moi, par la cour au parterre fleuri et à l’œuvre sculptée. J’ai également beaucoup apprécié les fausses fenêtres à personnages sculptés qui ornent la tour. C’est assurément mon coup de cœur à Bourges, même si j’ai dû me contenter d’en admirer l’extérieur car cet hôtel était fermé en ce dimanche matin, jour de ma visite. Mais je ne manquerai pas de retourner le visiter lors d’un prochain passage dans cette belle ville.
