Sentier du Ver-Vert, Natural path along Loire River in Nevers, France.
The path stretches 3.5 kilometers from the railway bridge to Bec d'Allier, following the right bank of the Loire River.
The path replaced a former towpath used for river navigation and was developed in the 1990s through initiatives by Nevers and Marzy municipalities.
The name Ver-Vert comes from a parrot character created by author Jean-Baptiste Louis Gresset in 1735, which became a symbol of Nevers.
The path opens Monday through Saturday from 14:00 to 18:00 and Sundays from 10:00 to 13:00, with multiple parking areas for visitors.
A Natura 2000 contract introduces sheep grazing along the path, managed by a shepherd and dog to maintain the natural spaces.
