Installation details

The Simandre is a wooden bell, used during Holy Week in the 7th century until the end of the Ancien Régime (1789).

It is 3.5m high and 2.5m wide.

According to tradition, during Holy Week, the bells of cathedrals had to be silent. Most people then imagined different means of calling the faithful to offices, including rattles.

The cathedral of Bourges, just like that of Paris or Amiens, attracted a lot of people, so it had more important means than rattles in the street: La Simandre.

Today, the Simandre de Bourges can be observed whilst visiting the Cathedral. A reconstruction was made for Bourges. Thus, Bourges is the only town in France where the Simandre still resounds during Holy week to this day.

Une maison de campagne dans le Berry

Château du Sollier

Un château aux portes de Bourges, à 5 minutes du péage, au bout d'une allée bordée d'arbres. George Sand n'y a jamais habité — et pourtant, tout ici pourrait laisser croire le contraire. Les longues soirées, le goût de la conversation, l'importance accordée à la table : le lieu s'inscrit naturellement dans le Berry qu'elle a aimé, raconté, habité.

Un domaine en forêt de Sologne

Domaine de Charnay

Au cœur d'une forêt privée de cent hectares, en Sologne, à 5 minutes du péage de Vierzon, le Domaine de Charnay abrite des chambres d'hôtes, la Maison d'Amélie et les grandes chambres lumineuses de la Longère. Au bord de la piscine ou des étangs, à l'ombre des grands chênes ou devant la cheminée — le temps s'organise ici sans contrainte. Et en filigrane, la douceur du chocolat de Daniel Mercier, maître chocolatier, qui accompagne le séjour avec discrétion.
