Croux Gate

Highlight • Castle

This is a fine example of a front door. This is the door that allowed access to the outer wall of the defences. It would probabaly have house a guard post.

Nevers is an old city that was said to have existed in Roman times. The narrow streets of the city center invite you for a walk and lead you from the banks of the Loire to the Palais Ducal and the cathedral Saint-Cyr-et-Sainte-Julitte.

Saint-Cyr and Sainte-Julitte Cathedral

Highlight • Religious Site

This Romanesque Gothic-style cathedral was built in the 10th century. The Cathedral of Saint-Cyr and Sainte-Julitte is distinguished by its two opposite choirs, the result of the juxtaposition of two successive buildings.

Right on the Loire, practically through the Pampas. Always a view of the river.
Great!
The only time the route is not recommended is after heavy rainfall.

Fête Foraine de Nevers, Parc Roger-Salengro

Highlight • Structure

We were lucky - when we arrived in Nevers, the Fête Foraine de Nevers was in full swing in the Parc. There were also protests and other events all over the city - we were not in the Parc itself.
