Czernowitzers… All the previous stages of my tour were European Capitals of Culture. Antwerp (1993), Lille (2004) and of course Paris (1989). What about Bourges? Bourges will be one of two European Capitals of Culture in 2028, along with Budweis in the Czech Republic. Postcard idylls at every corner of the historic old town, but do you notice anything?

Tourists and locals sometimes see things differently. Some appreciate the peace and quiet and have mixed feelings about the hustle and bustle that will accompany the nomination as European Capital of Culture. In any case, I'm definitely here four years too early, so I move on after just one night.
