Saumur was built on the basis of a 9th-century castle. It's a pretty little town with a pretty square with half-timbered houses. Nice cafes and a very good bakery on the square.

The city of Saumur is rich in history and culture. It is labeled City of Art and History. Its castle and the various historic buildings that dot the town testify to its historical and architectural interest. The city is also imbued with a local culture marked by several Saumur Val de Loire wine appellations. The cavalry school established in the city gives it an equestrian and military tradition. Crossed by the Loire, Saumur benefits from the attractiveness and richness of the Loire Valley, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Very beautiful historic town centre, in particular the half-timbered houses in Place Saint Pierre.
