Berry gathers a historical and natural heritage that spans from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance. The Saint-Étienne Cathedral in Bourges, built between 1195 and 1255, is one of France's major Gothic monuments, with five sculpted portals and 13th-century stained glass windows. The Jacques Cœur Palace, home of Charles VII's treasurer, showcases 15th-century civic architecture. The Bourges marshlands consist of a 135-hectare network of vegetable gardens irrigated by medieval canals, still cultivated in the city center. The region preserves several medieval castles such as Sagonne with its 30-meter square keep, and Noirlac Abbey, which features a complete monastic complex with cloister and monastic buildings. George Sand's estate in Nohant-Vic offers insight into the novelist's residence with period furnishings and her private theater. The Berry and Resistance museums in Bourges feature collections from Gallo-Roman times, medieval periods, and testimonies from World War II. The area also includes natural spaces like Lake Virlay, suitable for fishing and forest walks.
