Gîtes in Nevers

Discover Nevers and the surrounding area during your holiday in the Nièvre.

The best way to discover Nevers is on foot, looking up to admire the Ducal Palace, Saint-Cyr-Sainte-Julitte Cathedral, Saint-Etienne Church, the Croux Gate and the Gate of Paris.

Book one of the Clévacances gîtes and push open the doors of an earthenware workshop to take home a souvenir or those of the Art Deco shop "Au Négus" to treat yourself to sweets of the same name. Nevers is inextricably linked with Saint-Bernadette. The Espace Bernadette Soubirous, in the town centre, will have you walking in the footsteps of the saint. Below the town, head for Europe's last wild river, the Loire, for a walk or cycle ride, and why not, an aperitif on a traditional boat.

A few minutes' drive from Nevers and your gîte, be sure to admire the majestic spectacle of the marriage of the Loire and the Allier at the Bec d'Allier panorama.

From your Clévacances gîte, you can also discover the area around Nevers in the Nièvre. Come and visit Pougues-les-Eaux, a former spa with its springs park and casino, Saincaize where an unusual "round" castle is currently being restored, and Apremont, one of the "most beautiful villages in France" with its superb floral park. The Canal Latéral à la Loire cycle route is a not-to-be-missed discovery that will take you all the way to Decize. You can also visit the châteaux near Nevers, such as Château du Marais and Château de la Vernée, during your holiday.

In Nevers, you can go cycling to admire the city's rich heritage or to ride along the Loire or the lateral canal.

Book a gîte on the clevacances.com website and discover Nevers, which is also a sanctuary town thanks to the presence of Bernadette Soubirous and the space that bears her name near the Parc Salengro. Here you can follow in her footsteps and pay your respects.

It's time for a gourmet break! Nivernais specialities are on the menu of many of the town's restaurants, however, it's at the Art Deco shop "Au Négus" that you can melt with pleasure for the Négus or Nougatine that are the pride of the town.
