		) Bourges is at the geographical center of France, on a river (the Auron), in the middle of a vast, flat plain.
		Bourges is mostly known as the home of the Michael Millken of the 1400's, Jacques Coeur, only he made his money speculating in copper instead of junk bonds.
		Like Millken, he did a stretch in jail--for allegedly poisoning Agnes Sorel, the beautiful, 28 year old mistress of the king of France, Charles VII (called the "well served" because she bore him three bastards.) The best restaurant in Bourges is called the Jacques Coeur, but one meal there and our budget was blown.

	Bourges France - Loire Valley - IndigoGuide Bourges
		Bourges is slightly off the beaten trail of Loire Valley attractions, but the town has played an important part in French history and is worth a mention for its cathedral, medieval quarter, and Jacques Coeur who was Charles VII's financial advisor.
		The centrepiece of Bourges is the splendid Gothic Cathédrale St-Étienne, which is based on an improved design for the Cathédrale Notre-Dame in Paris.
		Another attraction at Bourges is the hectic schedule of festivals, such as the week long Les Printemps de Bourges during the Easter holidays (a variety of contemporary music) and the July through to September timetable of concerts for the Un Été à Bourges series (all kinds of music).

	Peace League of Bourges
		Nor were ministers of the sacraments excepted, but they frequently took out banners from the sanctuary of the Lord and attacked the violators of the sworn peace with the rest of the crowd of laypeople (populus).
		Thus the aforementioned bishop was touched by the sting of mammon and raged around and around in blind ambition.
		He reproached Steven for the fault of having ignored the peace, he tried to burn the castle with flames and ordered it to be leveled to the ground, as if he were exacting the vengeance of God upon it.

	A Bourges Calendar
		This is a plain and sober average calendar, from a book of hours from Bourges (114 days filled in, without February).
		As no manuscript, with a calendar from Bourges, is available in the Royal Library in Copenhagen, has this been transcribed from 11 single leaves in a private collection, the leaf with February is missing.
		The calendar is for secular use, as in most books of hours, but it clearly reflects a liturgical calendar from a Benedictine (male) community, in the diocese of Bourges.

	Bourges Cathedral - World Heritage Site - Pictures, info and travel reports
		As far as medieval, Gothic cathedrals are concerned, the one at Bourges (St-Etienne) is definitely one of the best, and located as it is in the very pretty town of Bourges, makes a trip there worthwhile, but how many cathedrals should be on the List is a different story...not that many more, I would say.
		Since Bourges was an important stopover point on the way to Santiago, the cathedral is additionally inscribed on the WH List as part of the "Routes of Santiago de Compostela in France" and gives you two WH sites for a single visit...not too bad, either.
		In the 3rd century there was yet a Christian cult centre in the Roman city of Avaricum, the first Christian community in the Gaul.

	French Gothic Cathedrals
		Superior in structure over Chartres, but perhaps lacking the aesthetic allure of its contemporary, Bourges Cathedral offered a different solution to the problems that Gothic architects faced.
		So many windows allows Bourges to be saturated and permeated with light from many beautiful stained glass windows, again, reflecting the aim of Gothic designers.
		Also, the flying buttresses here transfer and handle the weight of the structure more efficiently than Chartres, due to their dual support of the nave and the secondary side aisle.
