A castle-palace of the Dukes of Anjou in the 19th and 19th centuries, the Château de Saumur, where King René resided, is the last example of the princely palaces built by the Valois dynasty. It served as the residence of the city's governors, a prison, and later an arms and ammunition depot. It was purchased by the city in 1906 to house the municipal museum, now the Musée de France. Today, we discover the rich collections scattered throughout the former apartments of the Dukes of Anjou in an educational museography. Want to know more?

The Fête du Thoureil, a festival of Loire barges, is an Angevin tradition that takes place every year in spring on the banks of the Loire at Thoureil, in Maine-et-Loire, between Saumur and Angers. The programme includes barges and old Loire sailing ships, and Loire festivities. It is considered the first festival of Loire barges between Nantes and Tours.

City on the banks of the Loire with dazzling white walls and iridescent blue roofs, Saumur tells the chapters of its history to the powerful and majestic rhythm of the river. Royal city and princely castle, place of security and Protestant intellectual centre, equestrian capital with the evocative name of fine bubbles or still wines, it is all these events and all this know-how that the river serenely reflects at the foot of the limestone hill.
