About

The astronomical clock of Bourges, housed by Saint-Étienne Cathedral, was designed in November 1424 by Jean Fusoris. It is offered by Charles VII, the "little king of Bourges", to its inhabitants for the baptism of his son the dolphin (future Louis XI) and is one of the oldest astronomical clocks preserved in France
