Saumur castle was built from the 10th century on Renaissance and Medieval styles. The visit includes the interior of the castle, artistic collections as well as the gardens and the belvedere which offers an exceptional view of the city of Saumur.

Magnificent medieval construction erected on a rocky promontory, the old castle of Saumur proudly overlooks the city and the banks of the Loire. Classified as a historical monument since 1964, it has housed many exhibitions since it opened to the public, which vary over the years. Whether you are passing through or roaming, treat yourself to a visit and enjoy the exceptional panorama from its height.
