**Nevers** ([/nəˈvɛər/](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA/English) [*nə-VAIR*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Pronunciation_respelling_key), French: [\[nəvɛʁ\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA/French) [ⓘ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Fr-Paris--Nevers.ogg); [Latin](/source/Latin_language): *Noviodunum*, later *Nevirnum* and *Nebirnum*) is a city and the [prefecture](/source/Prefectures_in_France) of the [Nièvre](/source/Ni%C3%A8vre) [department](/source/Departments_of_France) in the [Bourgogne-Franche-Comté](/source/Bourgogne-Franche-Comt%C3%A9) [region](/source/Regions_of_France) in central France. It was the principal city of the former [province](/source/Provinces_of_France) of [Nivernais](/source/Nivernais). It is 260 km (160 mi) south-southeast of [Paris](/source/Paris).

## History

The [Hôtel de Ville](/source/H%C3%B4tel_de_Ville%2C_Nevers)

Nevers first enters written history as **Noviodunum**, a town held by the [Aedui](/source/Aedui) at [Roman](/source/Ancient_Rome) contact. The quantities of medals and other Roman antiquities found on the site indicate its importance.[3] In 52 BCE, [Julius Caesar](/source/Julius_Caesar) made Noviodunum, which he describes as a convenient position on the banks of the [Loire](/source/Loire), a depot (*B. G.* vii. 55). There, he had his hostages, corn and military chest, with the money in it allowed him from home for the war, his own and his army's baggage and a great number of horses which had been bought for him in Spain and Italy.

After his failure before [Gergovia](/source/Gergovia), the Aedui at Noviodunum massacred those who were there to look after stores, the negotiators and the travellers who were in the place. They divided the money and the horses among themselves, carried off in boats all the corn that they could and burned the rest or threw it into the river.

Thinking they could not hold the town, they burned it. That was a great loss to Caesar, and it may seem that he was imprudent in leaving such great stores in the power of treacherous allies. However, he was in straits that year, and probably he could not have done other than he did.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*]

[Dio Cassius](/source/Dio_Cassius) (xl. 38) tells the story of Caesar out of the affair of Noviodunum. He states incorrectly what Caesar did on the occasion, and he shows that he neither understood his original nor knew what he was writing about.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*]

The city was later called **Nevirnum**, as the name appears in the [Antonine Itinerary](/source/Antonine_Itinerary). In the [Tabula Peutingeriana](/source/Tabula_Peutingeriana), it is corrupted into **Ebrinum**. In still other sources the name appears as **Nebirnum** or **Nivernum**.

It became the seat of a bishopric at the end of the 5th century. The [county](/source/County_of_Nevers) dates at least from the beginning of the 10th century. The citizens of Nevers obtained charters in 1194 and 1231. For a short time in the 14th century the town was the seat of a university, transferred from [Orléans](/source/Orl%C3%A9ans), to which it was restored.[3]

In 1565, the town became the seat of a branch of the [Gonzaga family](/source/Gonzaga_family), who in 1627 succeeded to the [Duchy of Mantua](/source/Duchy_of_Mantua). This line of the Gonzaga Dukes of Nevers itself died out in 1708.

The [Hôtel de Ville](/source/H%C3%B4tel_de_Ville%2C_Nevers) was completed in 1834.[4]

## Geography

Nevers is situated on the slope of a hill on the right bank of the river [Loire](/source/Loire).[3]

## Climate

## Main sights

The [Ducal Palace of Nevers](/source/Palais_ducal_de_Nevers), in France

The incorrupt body of [Saint Bernadette](/source/Bernadette_Soubirous), seer of [Our Lady of Lourdes](/source/Our_Lady_of_Lourdes) apparitions

Narrow winding streets lead from the quay through the town where there are numerous old houses dating from the 14th to the 17th century.[3]

Among the ecclesiastical buildings the most important is the [Cathédrale of Saint Cyr-Sainte Julitte](/source/Cath%C3%A9drale_Saint-Cyr-et-Sainte-Julitte_de_Nevers), dedicated to [Saint Quiricus and Saint Julietta](/source/Saint_Quiricus_and_Saint_Julietta), which is a combination of two buildings, and possesses two [apses](/source/Apse). The apse and transept at the west end are the remains of a [Romanesque](/source/Romanesque_architecture) church, while the nave and eastern apse are in the [Gothic style](/source/Gothic_architecture) and belong to the 14th century. There is no transept at the eastern end. The lateral portal on the south side belongs to the late 15th century; the massive and elaborately decorated tower which rises beside it dates to the early 16th century.[3]

The church of *Saint Étienne* is a specimen of the Romanesque style of [Auvergne](/source/Auvergne_(province)) of which the disposition of the apse with its three radiating chapels is characteristic. It was consecrated at the close of the 9th century, and belonged to a priory affiliated to [Cluny](/source/Cluny).[3]

The [Ducal Palace](/source/Palais_ducal_de_Nevers) (now occupied by the courts of justice and an important ceramic museum) was built in the 15th and 16th centuries and is one of the principal feudal edifices in central France. The façade is flanked at each end by a [turret](/source/Turret_(architecture)) and a round tower. A middle tower containing the great staircase has its windows adorned by sculptures relating to the history of the [House of La Marck](/source/House_of_La_Marck) by the members of which the greater part of the palace was built.[3]

Behind the palace lies an open space with a fine view over the [Loire Valley](/source/Loire_Valley). The Porte du Croux, a square tower, with corner turrets, dating from the end of the 14th century, is among the remnants of the old fortifications; it now contains a collection of sculptures and Roman antiquities.[3]

A [triumphal arch](/source/Triumphal_arch) from the 18th century, commemorating the victory of [Fontenoy](/source/Battle_of_Fontenoy_(1745)) and the hôtel de ville, a 19th-century building which contains the library, are of some interest.[7] The Loire is crossed by a modern stone bridge, and by an iron railway bridge.[3]

At the [Chapel of Saint Bernadette](/source/Espace_Bernadette_Soubirous_Nevers) at the mother house of the [Sisters of Charity of Nevers](/source/Sisters_of_Charity_of_Nevers), it is possible to view the incorrupt body of [Saint Bernadette Soubirous](/source/Bernadette_Soubirous), the famous seer of [Our Lady of Lourdes](/source/Our_Lady_of_Lourdes) apparitions, which are presented in a gold and crystal reliquary.

Nevers has been known for several centuries for its [Nevers faience](/source/Nevers_faience).

The [Formula One circuit](/source/List_of_Formula_One_circuits) of [Magny-Cours](/source/Circuit_de_Nevers_Magny-Cours) is located near Nevers, as well as the museum [Conservatoire de la monoplace française](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Conservatoire_de_la_monoplace_fran%C3%A7aise&action=edit&redlink=1).

The anonymous French woman (played by [Emmanuelle Riva](/source/Emmanuelle_Riva)) who is the main character in the film *[Hiroshima mon amour](/source/Hiroshima_mon_amour)* by [Alain Resnais](/source/Alain_Resnais) is from Nevers, and the film features many flashbacks to her youth there during World War II. In the final scene of the film, her [Japanese](/source/Japan) lover tells her "You are Nevers". There is a lot of play on the English translation of the town's name throughout the film, with dialogue such as *"Nevers ? Jamais !"* ("Nevers? Never!")

Most of the scenes in the film *[Rosalie Blum](/source/Rosalie_Blum)* were filmed in Nevers between March and April 2015, with the exception of the end scenes, which were filmed at [Leffrinckoucke](/source/Leffrinckoucke) in the [Nord](/source/Nord_(French_department)).

Nevers is also the setting of most of the second half of [Éric Rohmer](/source/%C3%89ric_Rohmer)'s 1992 film, *[Conte d'Hiver](/source/Conte_d'Hiver)*.
