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?

Unavoidable

45 kilometers of gravel

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.

In 1147, Geoffrey Plantagenet, Count of Anjou, built a fortified castle on top of the hill and surrounded it with fortifications. Of the castle, only the chapel, which became a parish church in the 17th century, and of the ramparts, only the eastern part, remain. But this ancient fortified city perched on a limestone hill has retained its old-world charm and offers, along its narrow streets, behind high tuffeau walls, or in the embrasure of a vast portal, fleeting views of old aristocratic manors or rich residences in the colours of Anjou.
