Saumur Essentials
Saumur, known as the 'Pearl of Anjou,' is defined by its white tuffeau stone architecture and deep-rooted military traditions. This selection features the 10th-century castle overlooking the Loire, the historic cavalry museum, and the oldest active distillery in the region. Visitors can explore Romanesque churches like Notre-Dame de Nantilly, 15th-century residences, and panoramic viewpoints. The town's layout is anchored by the 18th-century Pont Cessart and the historic Saint-Pierre district, reflecting centuries of strategic importance on the river.
