Place Gordaine, Medieval square in historic Bourges, France.

Place Gordaine creates an intersection where multiple old streets meet, surrounded by timber-framed buildings and local businesses.

During the fifteenth century, this square housed the city's butcher shops and fish markets, serving as one of four main entrance gates.

The square marks the boundary between the Bourbonnoux and Saint-Pryvé districts, creating a gathering space for community events.

Public transportation serves the square directly, providing easy access to surrounding shops and services for visitors.

Between 1889 and 1891, this former meat market underwent a transformation into an urban square, permanently changing its role in the city.
