PACO MICHEL

Visited this cathedral with my wife in the summer of 2024 and it was one of the highlights of our trip. Bourges Cathedral (Cathédrale Saint-Étienne) is truly impressive — the Gothic architecture feels powerful and elegant at the same time. Inside, the space is vast, calm, and filled with light, making you want to slow down and take in every detail, especially the stained glass windows. A place with a strong sense of history and atmosphere, absolutely worth visiting. Tip: try to visit early in the morning or later in the afternoon when it’s less crowded and the light is softer. If possible, walk around the cathedral from all sides — the views from the back and nearby gardens are especially beautiful

Maybe this is the most beautiful cathedral I’ve visited since now. The interior of the cathedral is imposing and spectacular, with wonderful stained-glass windows. The crypt is well worth a visit; it must be booked in advance and is usually combined with a visit to the Jacques Coeur Palace.

Very peaceful inside. Also a good place to visit if you aren't used to the outside heat.

Out of all the cathedrals that we have seen so far in our trip, this was one of my favorite ones! It's breathtaking and unique. The way the columns are made gives you the impression it's drawn with a pencil. It was absolutely worth the detour!

Absolutely awesome cathedral that you should not miss if you ever come to Bourges. Also, the surrounding old town is worth a visit. If you are disabled, be aware that the streets are steep with a lot of cobblestones.

Bourges cathedral is a must visit. We went in the morning between 8 & 9 when the light from the east perfectly lights the cathedral from the gardens. It is also very quiet and peaceful. It is extremely grand with many arches.

The architecture is absolutely impressive, it is among the most beautiful cathedrals visited, gorgeous on the inside but the outside does not disappoint either.

Beautiful Cathedral This is a great holy place to visit. Fantastic & Iconic building in the heart of Bourges. As usual in France this Cathedral is very old. Around 800 years. It is well worth your time to visit and admire the amazing architecture both inside and outside.
