    The Chapelle Royale Notre-Dame des Ardilliers in Saumur is a magnificent 17th century chapel which was once one of the most important Marian sanctuaries in France. There you can admire beautiful architecture, as well as rich paintings and sculptures. The chapel is also surrounded by a pretty park and gardens, where you can take a peaceful stroll along the Loire. Don't forget to taste the local wine, Coteaux de Saumur, which is produced from the vineyards located near the chapel.
