With some terrific road trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to explore all that Bourges, 25 miles away, has to offer. Among your first stops here should be Bourges Cathedral, Palais de Jacques-Coeur and Palais des Congrès de Bourges. The locals will also probably point you in the direction of Nevers, 30 miles away. If you only see one attraction here, make sure it’s Convent of St. Gildard. (But we’d also recommend Nevers Cathedral and Parc Roger-Salengro.)
