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



Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
