About this stay
Four hundred metres from Cathedrale St-Etienne is close enough to hear its bells and far enough to sleep through the night undisturbed, and Clos Montcenoux sits right at that sweet spot. The ground-floor apartment opens onto garden views rather than a street facade, a small but real difference in how the stay feels, and a private entrance means no shared stairwell traffic. The kitchen runs to a dishwasher, not always a given in older Bourges conversions, and free private parking removes the usual old-town headache of circling for a space. Musee du Berry sits under a kilometre away, and the walk there passes some of the best-preserved half-timbered facades in the Marais quarter.

Our take
Clos Montcenoux is the apartment I would book in Bourges to see the old town on foot and still park easily: it is 400 metres from the Cathédrale Saint-Étienne, with the Musée du Berry under a kilometre away, and private parking is free. The ground-floor flat has its own entrance, garden views, air-conditioning and a dishwasher. A 9.6 score from 51 reviews is outstanding.
- ✓Reserve the free private parking spot in advance during cathedral festival weekends, it fills fast
- ✓Walk the 400 metres to Cathedrale St-Etienne for the evening light, the west front glows near sunset
- ✓Use the dishwasher and cook in at least one night, the kitchen is properly equipped for it
Why we love it
- 400 metres from Cathedrale St-Etienne
- Free private parking, rare in the old town
- Garden views instead of street facade
- Dishwasher-equipped kitchen
Why guests love itOur pick for this one comes down to the parking, free and private, 400 metres from a cathedral that draws coach tours every morning. Waking up to a garden view rather than a street of parked cars is the other detail that keeps this apartment near the top of our Bourges shortlist for couples who still want their own vehicle on hand.
