Nevers - a city in the department of Nievre (region Burgundy-Franche-Comté, central France) is located southeast of Paris. Located on the high right bank of the Loire River at its confluence with the Nievre River, this is a typical old provincial city that was modernized after the creation of new industrial enterprises in the immediate vicinity.
At the end of the Roman era, this place was known as Nevirnum, a name believed to be an abbreviation of its earlier Roman name Noviodunum Aeduorum. In the Middle Ages, he several times passed from the hands of the powerful families of Europe . In the 16th century, it was acquired by the Gonzago family from Mantua, which brought ceramics to Nevers. The Cathedral of Saint-Cyr-i-Saint-Juliet, built between the 11th and 16th centuries, was rebuilt after it was seriously damaged by bombing during World War II.
