Tips

Symbol of the city of Saumur which it dominates, "Château d'Amour" resting on its "emerald rock" for René I of Anjou, it is an old fortress transformed into a palace by the Dukes of Anjou (14th and 15th centuries). It then became the residence of the governors of the city, a prison, then a weapons and munitions depot. In 1906, the City bought the castle from the State to install its municipal museum there. The surrounding park offers a magnificent view of the city and the Loire.

There is a restaurant at the castle, but during the tourist season, reservations are essential if you want to eat there. There is also a restaurant boat on the Loire River.
