Nevers is a town and district capital of Nièvre district, in Burgundy, France. It covers 17 sq km (7 sq mi) and has a population of 43,000 people (2012 estimate).

Nevers dates back to Roman times, when it was first mentioned as Noviodunum. Over time, it evolved to Nevirnum, Ebrinum and Nebirnum. It may also have given the name to the river Nièvre, or perhaps the other way around.

Today Nevers has winding streets leading from the quayside to the town center. The town is well preserved with a number of historic monuments.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
