The Palais Ducal

The Ducal Palace, a former residence, listed as a historical monument since 1840, is nevertheless a place of life: each year it hosts some 200 municipal councils, some 200 meetings, seminars and receptions and fifteen exhibitions.

La Cathédrale Saint-Cyr-et-Sainte-Julitte

The Saint-Cyr-et-Sainte-Julitte Cathedral

The building is made up of an astonishing bric-a-brac of five buildings: there are two choirs, one Romanesque and the other Gothic. The wise hiker will find in this basilica almost all the stages of sacred art in France, between the baptistery of the sixth century and contemporary stained glass windows. The tower overlooking the sacred building completely dominates the city.

L'Eglise Saint-Etienne

Saint-Etienne Church

Built by the monks of Cluny at the end of the 11th century out of regional ochre limestone, it is little altered by the destruction of time. This church is a true testimony of the spirit of the first great Western art.

Near the majestic Bec d’Allier (where the Allier River joins the Loire), Le Guétin’s canal-bridge makes quite an impression on this EuroVelo 6 stage leading on via Cuffy to the Loire à Vélo cycle route. The Canal Latéral à la Loire then acts as a link between Burgundy and the Loire Valley. This charming stage, starting at the unique city of Nevers, with its many services and shops, is almost entirely on greenways.
