The Château de Saumur

For centuries, Saumur has breathed to the rhythm of its château. Visible from several kilometres away, set on a rocky peak, its unparalleled vertical height is evident at first sight. The Château de Saumur is the very image of a history book or fairytale castle.
Built between the 11th and 19th Centuries, the Château de Brézé has an extraordinary underground network. There we discover the former stately home and its stables, an allure, a drawbridge, silk culture, kitchens, wine cellars, huge presses, all opening onto the deepest dry moats in Europe.
