Palais Ducal

Book the Ducal Palace, Renaissance splendor in the heart of Nevers

Located in the heart of Nevers, this historic monument is distinguished by its elegant Renaissance architecture, characterized by the warm color of its Nevers stone facade and a slate roof. Formerly the residence of the Lords of the Nivernais, then the Palace of Justice until the 1970s, the building was renovated in the late 1980s to become a place of reception, culture and work. The Ducal Palace hosts more than 200 meetings, seminars and receptions, as well as about fifteen exhibitions per year.

Emblematic place of Nevers, the Ducal Palace puts its prestigious setting at your disposal for congresses, seminars and cocktails.

On the second floor, the Mazarin and Henriette de Clèves rooms have a neo-gothic woodwork decor with large windows overlooking the Loire Valley.
