And onwards we go, another escape from home into the wonderful valley of the kings and the revisit to the city of Bourges and why not the exquisite Cathedral Saint Stephens (St Etienne). I need to tell you again, it is awesome , a must to see. Only come to Bourges for it if nothing else ok. Therefore, let me give you my take on the wonderful Cathédrale Saint Etienne of Bourges, part II !!! Hope you enjoy the post as I.
I came for the wines of Sancerre but having seen most and taste many, decided to go to Bourges! Just 43 km away. I have written two extensive posts on the Cathedral in previous years and will not bother telling you the history and architecture of it. The city is a Ville d’Art et d’Histoire in France (city of art and history of France). Of course , you must see the St Stephen Cathedral or Cathédrale Saint Etienne, recognize by Unesco as a World Heritage Site. The Cathédrale St Etienne was built from 1194 to 1506. One of the great Cathedrals of France.
You will be glad you came to Bourges to see it as we have each time in town and love it. This time a leisure ride amongst vineyards of Sancerre on the D955 was just lovely, we will be back!

There you go folks, short and sassy for the world to enjoy it. This is alone worth coming to Bourges as we have. Again, hope you enjoy this post on the Cathédrale Saint Etienne of Bourges, part II !!! as I.
And remember, happy travels, good health, and many cheers to all !!!

I am a lover of travels to Europe , Americas , Africa and Asia as well ,who like to share my experiences of the last 53 years with the world, visiting so far 81 countries; living in 6, working in 5, and Citizen of 4, speaking fluently 4 languages. I can deal with sports especially football/soccer and love music, arts, wine collector/drinker, and go out to restaurants, and just visit the world.
My background comes all the way from Candelaria and Pajara in Tenerife, Spain where my grandparents came from ;not knowing each other then, to Punta Brava, west of Havana, Cuba. There , my parents born in Cuba met and later on I was born there too. 100% guanche (annexed Tenerife to Spain on April 10 ,1496). I left Cuba as many have to Madrid, Spain where I lived for 4 years. Then, move to Perth Amboy ,New Jersey USA (living there 13 yrs) ; where I completed high school, became a US Citizen, learned to drive a car, and learned English. Afterward, went to the university in Florida, ERAU, and upon graduation decided to moved there to Ormond by the Sea, near Daytona Beach, finally moving North Miami, then Hialeah, then another moved to Silver Lakes division in Miramar, Broward county, Florida; in Florida I lived a total of 18 years. Finally , moved to France in 2003 ,Versailles call me for its royalty, and working in Paris was great. It was time to seek frontiers again and moved to Brech near Auray, Morbihan in Brittany , and later move to not too far Pluvigner. Total so far in France has been 20 years, and counting.
Moving average a home every 5.5 years hopefully this will be my last. Cheers
