Nivelles, city of traditions, is built in a valley drained by the Thines. Its history is merged in that of the abbey founded in 7C by Itte d'Aquitaine, wife of Pippin of Landen (also known as Pippin the Elder), where the first abbess was Sainte Gertrude, a great grand aunt of Charlemagne. Today, turned decidedly towards modernity, this city of 24,000 inhabitants boasts a vast industrial estate and is linked with the main cities in Belgium and abroad by a major motorway network. Nivelles is the capital of Roman-Païs.
