About this stay
L'Amantine sits about as close to Cathedrale St-Etienne as a Bourges B&B can get, a two-minute walk, and it backs that address up with a breakfast worth waking up for: local specialities, fresh pastries, fruit, and juice served each morning, plus chocolates or cookies left in the room. The property is explicitly pet-friendly, private check-in and check-out and express service keep arrivals simple, and each room carries a private bathroom, work desk, and city views. Les Rives d'Auron is 800 metres away and the Natural History Museum and Palais Jacques-Coeur both an easy walk, and guests consistently praise the host and the breakfast above nearly everything else on this list.
- 2 min to the cathedral
- Pet-friendly
- Breakfast pastries
- City views
Our take
One of the strongest picks for travellers who want to walk to the cathedral in two minutes and start each day with a genuinely good breakfast, pastries and local specialities rather than the basics. The pet-friendly policy is a real bonus this central. Guests wanting full kitchen facilities for cooking their own meals should note this runs as a B&B rather than a self-catering flat.
- ✓Walk to Cathedrale St-Etienne first thing, two minutes puts you there before anyone else arrives
- ✓Bring the pet along, the property is explicitly set up to welcome animals this close to the cathedral
- ✓Save room for the pastries at breakfast, guests consistently name it as the highlight of the stay
Why we love it
- Two-minute walk to Cathedrale St-Etienne
- A genuinely good breakfast with local pastries
- Pet-friendly throughout
- Private bathrooms with city views
Why guests love itOur editorial team keeps this one near the top of the Bourges list for one simple reason: a two-minute walk to Cathedrale St-Etienne paired with a breakfast that guests consistently single out, pastries and local specialities rather than the standard basics, all in a pet-friendly B&B. The pastries alone are worth the early alarm, and the two-minute walk to the cathedral means there is no rush to finish breakfast before the day's sightseeing begins.
