Château de Saumur

Highlight • Castle

Symbol of the city of Saumur which it dominates, "Château d'Amour" resting on its "emerald rock" for René I of Anjou, it is an old fortress transformed into a palace by the Dukes of Anjou (14th and 15th centuries). It then became the residence of the governors of the city, a prison, then a weapons and munitions depot. In 1906, the City bought the castle from the State to install its municipal museum there. The surrounding park offers a magnificent view of the city and the Loire.

The church of Parnay was built in the 11th century and is dedicated to Saint-Pierre. The stone spire dates from the 16th century and the nave was rebuilt in the 19th century. Built on a hill, the church of Parnay offers an exclusive panorama over the Loire and its surroundings.

Turquant Arts and Crafts Village

Highlight • Structure

Between the Loire and the hills, Turquant welcomes, in season, craftsmen and a Métiers d'Art boutique in a remarkably restored troglodyte site.

Several designers open their workshops to the public and passionately share their expertise.

Today, you can wander around the troglodytes between tradition and modernity to discover all their originality.
