SITUATION AND ACCESS

Settled deep heart of the Burgundy , Center and Auvergne areas, Nevers is the major town of the Nièvre department. Ideally located only two hours from Paris by A77 highway.

Along the Nièvre and the Loire rivers, the town spreads herself on the right bank of Loire river.

We are on the railwayroad between Paris-Clermont-Ferrand, (it used to be the old Paris-Mediterranean way) by the Massif Central (Marvejols, Nîmes), and Dijon

Whether you are looking for spirituality or are just an ordinary tourist, take time to appreciate
the silence of the Espace
Bernadette, where the Saint is buried. This is in the heart of the religious community and, in the chapel, you can ommune with Bernadette.

The confluence of the Loire and the Allier provides many opportunities for discovering, both the fauna and flora.
The Bec d’Allier was classified as a Panda Site
by the WWF in 2004.

By following the Loire’s Canal Latéral you will come across the Guétin canalbridge. Crossing the Allier, this 343 metrelong masonry bridge, built between 1830 and 1838, allows the canal to flow on towards Digoin or Briare.
