Le palais Jacques-Coeur

Le palais Jacques-Coeur, published in 2011 by Editions du Patrimoine, serves as an authoritative guide to the iconic late-Gothic residence located in Bourges, France. The book was produced as part of the Centre des monuments nationaux's mission to document and promote French cultural heritage, providing readers with a detailed examination of a site commissioned by Jacques Cœur, a powerful merchant and financier to King Charles VII during the mid-15th century.

The volume benefits from the scholarship of Georges Buisson, who contextualizes the palace not merely as a residence, but as an architectural manifestation of Cœur's immense influence and the transition toward the Renaissance. The design and presentation prioritize historical accuracy and architectural detail, intended to guide visitors and enthusiasts through the elaborate courtyards, decorative facades, and vaulted interiors that define this unique landmark of medieval domestic architecture.
