Château de Saumur

Castle Châteaux of the Loire Valley, France

You will already see its profile from afar and, as you get closer and closer, you will recognize its slate turrets and its fairy-tale atmosphere. The castle-palace of the Dukes of Anjou was the protagonist of various adventures before becoming part of the Historical Monuments. Since then it has been owned by the city of Saumur which has restored it to its former glory, based on the illuminated codex of the time: Les très riches heures du duc de Berry.
