The decorative arts museum, the Best Craftsmen of France Museum, the Estève Museum, the Berry Museum, and the natural history museum provide ample opportunities for discovering the province’s rich history. A city of light and music, Bourges puts on three grand annual pageants: “Springtime in Bourges”, “Summer in Bourges”, and the “Nuits Lumière”, a magnificent sound and light circuit that combines culture, tourism, and heritage.
