Deux-Sèvres, Administrative department in western New Aquitaine, France.
The territory encompasses three distinct arrondissements - Bressuire, Niort, and Parthenay - with Niort serving as the administrative capital of the department.
The department was established on March 4, 1790, during the French Revolution, taking its name from two rivers that originate within its borders: Sèvre Nantaise and Sèvre Niortaise.
The department maintains a strong agricultural identity with extensive farmlands producing wheat, oats, potatoes while supporting traditional cattle breeding of the Parthenais breed.
The department connects to Paris through two TGV railway stations on the Paris-La Rochelle route, offering direct access to the capital and regional destinations.
Niort, the capital city, functions as a national center for insurance companies, with numerous financial institutions establishing their headquarters in the department.
