About the location

Halle au blé

Place de la Nation 18000 Bourges

Cher
Centre-Val de Loire

Built in 1832, on the site of the convent of the Cordeliers, the work of the architect of the department and of the city, Barthélémy Juillien, courtyard covered in 1892-1893, this building, with functional neo-classical architecture, is part of a monumental perspective in front of the Place de la Nation, a former market place with wheat established on the hold of the Gallo-Roman arenas. The district, long located between city and countryside, experienced great economic development in the nineteenth century and saw the installation of many hostels.
