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.

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.

Saint Bernadette Soubirous Centre, Nevers

Highlight • Other

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.
