    Nice place but there is a clear lack of furniture in the rooms of the palace... You cannot really project yourself in what life was like at the time.

    (Translated by Google) I would have put 0 if I could. Empty monument and not very interesting, even if the story of Jacques Coeur is fascinating. Visited in August 2020: staff make no effort to enforce mask wearing. We find ourselves stuck by the dozen in small spaces. To avoid. (Original) J’aurais mis 0 si je pouvais. Monument vide et peu intéressant, même si l’histoire de Jacques Cœur est passionnante. Visité en août 2020 : le personnel ne fait aucun effort pour faire respecter le port du masque. On se retrouve coincés par dizaines dans de petits espaces. A éviter.

  • 5/5 Phil R. 2 years ago on Google
    Visited on the "blue light" trail so only viewed on the graphics. ie after dark

  • 5/5 Sasha 1 year ago on Google
    Although I don't know much about architectural styles, I know about this palace that it fascinated me. The beauty of the facade of the inner courtyard simply takes your breath away. I went to visit it on a Thursday morning, I don't like it when it's crowded, I love to admire these beauties in peace. The price was €8. Although there is not much furniture in the palace rooms, it makes up for it with architectural details that are amazing. I couldn't wait to open the next door and be amazed by the beauty that surrounds me.

    Excellent guided tour. To be visited

  • 1/5 Taras T. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolute rude French service and administration. Small low paid attendants will decide that they can dictate when museum opens and closes. 17:15 closing time - is a lie. Please advertise orrectly. Closes when they decide to close. Violating the hours of visitation as they please. Shame. Probably they have somewhere more beautiful to go! :)

  • 5/5 vijay d. 1 year ago on Google
    History of Bourges Is closely associated with Jacques Coeur and his palace and cathedral are really nice to see

  • 5/5 Margarita 1 year ago on Google

    Another historical building near Bourbon Hotel in Bourges Not too far from Avericum Commercial Centre

  • 4/5 Tormi V. 9 months ago on Google
    Exquisite palace, big and lavish. Unfortunately only sad thing is that you can see architecture and building materials but all the rooms are very empty, some places have a few furniture items, some only pictures of objects, so the space seems too unoccupied, other than that it is a marvel!

  • 4/5 Motorhome Q. 7 months ago on Google
    The rooms aren't decorated with furniture and art. However, for us, we felt it would have distracted us from the real gems of the palace. Which is the architecture and carvings. You need to look closely to spot some of the carvings.

  • 4/5 Konstantinos M. 9 months ago on Google
    Very well preserved, worth the visit.

    (Translated by Google) If you are passing through Bourges it is an interesting historical place to visit! There is a Jacques Coeur route "which stretches over all the places where he lived!

  • 5/5 Pierre R. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The Jacques Coeur Palace is one of the main tourist spots in the city of Bourges. There are not many identical pieces left from the life of Jacques Coeur, but the building remains sumptuous and the visit is worth the detours. The panels are relatively short and allow you to follow the life of this strange character without spending 2 hours per room. National museum status (therefore free for EU nationals under the age of 25). (Original) Le palais Jacques Cœur est l'un des principaux lieu touristique de la ville de Bourges. Il ne reste plus beaucoup de pièces à l'identique de la vie de Jacques Cœur mais l'édifice reste somptueux et la visite vaut le détours. Les panneaux sont relativement courts et permettent de suivre la vie de cet étrange personnage sans passer 2 heures par pièce. Statut de musée national (donc gratuit pour les ressortissants de l'UE de moins de 25ans révolus).

  • 3/5 alloes 3. 3 years ago on Google
    Les sculptures murales et autour des cheminées sont vraiment belles, l'escalier vu du haut est pareil mais... Visiter un château c'est chiant alors meme si il merite peut etre 5 etoiles pour moi c'est 3 étoiles maximum et je suis gentil. (On m'a forcé à visité ce chateau)
