Description for B&B:
Until 1872, the gardens of the St Laurent convent, a Benedictine convent for women, occupied the location where this house now stands. Today, the former convent has been transformed into apartment residences called the Abbey Residences.The house is conveniently located just a 5-minute walk from the Bourges Cathedral.
During the revolution, the grounds were sold, and Mr. Alphonse-Joseph Charmeil, an art teacher at the Royal Middle School of Bourges and the founder of the Bourges Museum, which he curated for nearly 50 years, built this unique house in the Napoleon III style.
In 1878, he added a pavilion-like kiosk and two separate houses to the garden, all adorned with marble decorations.
Originally, the marble decorations were part of the choir tour of the St Pierre Le Marché church, which was constructed in 1760 and is now known as the Notre-Dame church.
These original marble decorations are still intact and have been officially registered.
