Promenade des Remparts
Promenade des Remparts, Medieval rampart footpath in Nevers, France
The Promenade des Remparts extends along the ancient city walls, connecting the Porte du Croux gate to the Loire River through gardens and viewpoints.
The protective wall, built in the 12th century by Pierre de Courtenay, underwent multiple reconstructions during the Hundred Years War to reinforce the abbey's defenses.
The monastery gardens feature medicinal herbs, aromatic plants, and ornamental sections that reflect traditional medieval garden design and botanical knowledge.
Access to this historic monument is available Monday through Saturday from 14:00 to 18:00 and Sundays from 10:00 to 13:00.
The Passière stream that flows beneath the ramparts once powered several mills, integrating water management into the defensive structure.
