Le clos du poète
A garden flat with breakfast from the host and free parking
Superb · 275 reviews
About this stay
The name, poet's close, fits a ground-floor apartment built around a genuine terrace and garden, with outdoor furniture set up for meals outside rather than a token balcony. The kitchenette covers the basics, a stovetop, electric kettle, and microwave, and free private parking removes the usual old-town parking search. Guests consistently highlight the friendly host and the breakfast provided by the property, an added touch beyond the standard self-catering setup. Cathedrale St-Etienne sits under a kilometre away and the Esteve Museum and Musee du Berry are both a short walk, with an ice-skating rink nearby. Streaming services and a tea and coffee maker round out the practical side, and the ground-floor layout keeps the whole stay simple for guests travelling without a car.

Our take
A comfortable pick for travellers who want a genuine garden and a host who provides breakfast without booking a full B&B. Free private parking is a real bonus this close to the cathedral. Guests wanting a full oven and dishwasher should note the kitchenette here covers lighter cooking rather than full meals.
- ✓Ask the host about the breakfast option when booking, guests consistently rate it as a highlight
- ✓Use the free private parking for day trips beyond Bourges, it is a genuine convenience in the old town
- ✓Sit in the garden for at least one evening meal, the outdoor furniture is set up for exactly that
Why we love it
- Genuine terrace and garden with outdoor furniture
- Breakfast provided by a friendly host
- Free private parking
- Under a kilometre from Cathedrale St-Etienne
Why guests love itOur team likes this one for the host-provided breakfast, an unusual extra for a self-catering apartment, paired with a genuine garden and free private parking that together make Le clos du poète feel more hosted than most Bourges rentals at this price point. The host-provided breakfast is the detail that sets it apart from a standard self-catering flat, giving the stay a touch of hosted warmth without the cost of a full B&B booking.
