Nivernais

Nivernais

Former province of central France, nearly corresponding to the present département of Nièvre. It was formerly a duchy, with Nevers as its capital. Louis XIV joined it to the crown in 1669. The canal of Nivernais, constructed between 1784 and 1842, connects the Loire and Yonne rivers.

The French chief minister Cardinal Mazarin bought the duchy in 1659, and it remained within his family when it was incorporated into the royal domain in 1669.
