Guétin Canal Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Remarkable structure 343m long and comprising 18 arches. It allows the Loire lateral canal to pass above the Allier.
Downstream, you can see the Bec d'Allier, a natural site at the confluence of the waters of the Allier and the Loire, classified by the WWF. This unique environment is home to many animal species.

The Sanctuary and Espace Bernadette Soubirous Nevers are located in the heart of Nevers, a few hundred meters from the train station, the Ducal Palace and the cathedral.
There we find the "hunt of Saint Bernadette": when little Bernadette is declared "saint", her body is exhumed. It is discovered intact (incorrupt). Since 1925, his body has been visible in a glass shrine located in the former Saint-Gildard convent.

Saint John the Baptist Church

Highlight • Religious Site

In the center of the old town, the classical style church was built between 1612 and 1676 on a Greek cross plan. It was initially dedicated to Saint John the Baptist, a statue of whom still appears in a niche outside.

The church was severely affected by bombing in 1944.

Nevers

Highlight • Settlement

Nevers, city where Saint Bernadette Soubirous lived (the little shepherdess of Lourdes), it's worth visiting her!

Loire Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

This stone bridge, whose construction began in 1767, spans the Loire River south of Nevers. Whatever the season, it's always a pleasure to admire the river from this bridge. Although many cars use this Loire bridge, a cycle path allows for safe cycling.
