Nièvre, Department in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, France
The Loire River flows along the western border of Nièvre, which extends over 6,817 square kilometers and contains four administrative districts centered around Nevers.
Created during the French Revolution on March 4, 1790, Nièvre emerged from the former province of Nivernais as one of the original 83 French departments.
The Ducal Palace in Nevers and Notre-Dame of La Charité-sur-Loire represent the architectural heritage of this region that produces Pouilly Fumé white wines.
The department maintains a network of administrative services across its territory, with the prefecture in Nevers coordinating governmental operations for 204,452 inhabitants.
The Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours in Nièvre hosted Formula One French Grand Prix races from 1991 to 2008, marking its presence in international motorsports.
