Centre commercial Avaricum

Centre Commercial Avaricum is a shopping center located in downtown Bourges that brings together shops and dining options in a modern, multi-level structure. The complex serves as a gathering point for both local errands and leisure activities within the city center.

The site was originally developed with residential towers in the 1970s before undergoing major demolition and reconstruction between 2007 and 2008. This transformation revealed archaeological remnants from the Gallo-Roman period beneath the ground.

The name Avaricum comes from the ancient Roman designation of Bourges, a connection that remains present in the city's identity today. This reference to the past links the modern shopping space to the deeper history of the place.

Parking is spread across multiple levels and can be accessed conveniently from Avenue de Peterborough for easy arrivals and departures. The location has good public transportation connections, making it straightforward to reach the center from different parts of the city.

A pop-up space within the center provides local artisans and designers with a platform to display and sell their handmade creations. This dedicated area rotates its showcased makers regularly, offering something different with each visit.
