    Tips

    Saumur is a large Loire town, built between the Loire and the Thouet, one of its tributaries. Renowned for hosting the Cadre Noir and the good taste of its sparkling wines, the city with its medieval history is an essential stopover for all those who wish to discover the life of the largest and best preserved of French rivers.

    From the heights of its 10th century castle, you watch for panoramas that reveal a sumptuous Loire. During the summer, dare to leave the small medieval streets to gain height. The sunsets offer shades of warm and iridescent colors.

    In the center of Saumur, shops and services abound. The catering and accommodation offer is varied. The railway station located on the Tours-Angers axis (right bank of the Loire) allows you to reach Saumur daily and several times a day.

              For centuries, Saumur has breathed to the rhythm of its castle. This fortress is visible for miles on its rocky peak and is like the castles of our storybooks and our fairy tales.

              Come and soak up the atmosphere in the traffic-free streets and the pleasant squares.
