L'Hotel de Panette, Un exceptionnel château en coeur de ville - parking privé cour

About this stay

Few Bourges addresses can point to a genuine royal occupant, but L'Hotel de Panette can: Charles V of Spain lived out part of his exile on this estate, and the 600-square-metre garden he would have walked still frames the property today. The building itself is 18th century, not a recreation, and it shows in the period woodwork, working fireplaces, and tall French windows that some rooms still carry. Two living rooms with period decor give guests somewhere to sit after the included continental breakfast, and the garden itself is large enough to feel like a genuine retreat rather than a courtyard. Palais Jacques-Coeur, the 15th-century merchant's mansion that anchors the old town, is a 350-metre walk, and the tourist information office sits 200 metres from the door.
