Palais de Jacques Coeur

The Palais Jacques Cœur is a unique monument in France, built in the 15th century. It is a precursor of the mansions of the Renaissance period, with a large main building constructed against the Gallo-Roman wall. The palace features beautifully decorated façades, galleries, and a chapel. The interior includes richly decorated fireplaces, spiral staircases, and passages. The palace was built with comfort and hygiene in mind, with washrooms and latrines. It is a great example of the original personality of its builder, Jacques Coeur, who rose to the top of the social ladder and became Finance Minister to the King
