Classified as a "Grand site du Val de Loire", the Château de Brézé is a unique historical monument built between the 11th and 19th centuries. The castle stands proudly in a magnificent neo-Gothic style, but it is actually beneath the surface that the building's particularity lies, since it houses an entire underground network that constitutes a real fortress hidden under the rock. Initially built to protect against Viking invasions, the fortress has one of the deepest dry moats in Europe. Under the castle, there is a 3 km network of tunnels and rooms. These were in a way the first protective bunkers known in history, and housed bakeries, stables, dormitories, kitchens, a barrel room and even a silkworm farm.

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.

Apparently, one of the most beautiful villages in France. I wouldn’t disagree.

Built in the 12th and 13th centuries on the site where Saint-Martin died in 397, the collegiate church was fortified in the 15th century and is one of the finest examples of Anjou Gothic architecture.
