Historic Center of Saumur
Highlight • Historical Site
Amongst the most important monuments of Saumur are the great Château de Saumur itself which stands high above the town, and the nearby Château de Beaulieu which stands just 200 metres from the south bank of the Loire river and which was designed by the architect Jean Drapeau. A giant sequoia tree (which is protected) stands in the grounds of Château de Beaulieu. The Dolmen de Bagneux is on the old road going south.
The architectural character of the town owes much to the fact that it is constructed almost exclusively of the beautiful, but fragile, Tuffeau stone.[10]
The wine industry surrounds Saumur, many utilising the tunnels as cellars with the hundreds of domaines producing white, red, rosé and sparkling wines. Visits to producers and the annual Grandes Tablées du Saumur-Champigny is a popular annual event held in early August with over 1 km of tables set up in Saumur so people can sample the local foods and wine.[11]
Saumur has a famous weekly market every Saturday morning with hundreds of stalls open for business in the streets and squares of the old town, from before 8am.
Its skyline has been compared with that of Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia.
There are heaps of restaurants for every budget, musuems, cafes, bars, galleries and a theatre. There is also a tank museum and the Cadre Noir cavalry centre.
