La Manécanterie - Parking Privé Inclus en Cour Fermée
A historic-building flat with parking locked behind its own courtyard gate
Superb · 63 reviews
About this stay
Bourges rewards travellers who stay inside its old fortified core, and this apartment sits squarely there, inside a building whose stonework predates the modern city around it. The enclosed courtyard is the detail that changes the stay: private parking behind a closed gate, a genuine relief in a medieval street grid never built for cars. Inside, the layout is straightforward, one bedroom, a living room with a sofa bed for a third guest, and a kitchen stocked for actual cooking rather than reheating. Cathedrale St-Etienne and Palais Jacques-Coeur are both within easy walking distance, and the Esteve Museum is a five-minute stroll. Bourges Station is a longer 19-minute walk, so a car or the courtyard parking matters more here than in flats closer to the tracks.
- Enclosed courtyard parking
- Historic building
- Five minutes to Esteve Museum
- Full kitchen
Our take
I would book La Manécanterie for a stay in central Bourges by car: free parking in an enclosed courtyard is rare this close to the cathedral quarter. The apartment sits in a historic building, with one bedroom, a living room with a sofa bed, a fully equipped kitchen and free WiFi, which suits a couple or a small family. The Musée Estève is about five minutes away. A 9.5 score from 63 reviews is excellent.
- ✓Reserve the courtyard parking spot when you book, it fills up on cathedral festival weekends
- ✓Walk to Palais Jacques-Coeur before 10am to beat the tour groups
- ✓Pack for a 19-minute walk from the station or arrange a taxi for heavy bags
Why we love it
- Private parking behind a closed courtyard gate
