Bourges : Hotel

The north wing seems to be the first to have been built, including the staircase. The wing in return, which ends on the street, is marked by two cartridges: one, surrounded by a crown of roses, carries the inscription: "shoot in the rose, 1566, keep from the thorns"; The other shield, located under the allege of a skylight and supervised by two sirens, displays the same date (the legend is erased). A final phase of construction, in the 17th century, included the southern wing with its assorted headband decor, as well as its extension to the ground floor with a mansard roof. Above the garden door, a shield displays the coat of arms of the Danjou family, which had treasurers from France and the secretaries of Monsieur in the 17th century. On the street, a fence wall overlooking the interior courtyard opens with an entrance gate to Renaissance style pilasters. The main building is flanked by a stone staircase turret. The low level overlooking the courtyard contains rooms. In the extreme north, a corridor with a service staircase opens on two pre-corps, the widest extending to the street, with a low gallery accessible to the courtyard by two semicircular bays. Upstairs, a piece has kept a set of Louis XV style woodwork, with painted trums representing landscapes. The facade overlooking the courtyard is decorated with a Renaissance door with pilasters and capitals, surmounted by coat of arms and currencies. That of the 17th century building presents a carved decor of protruding bands in grid.
