Top 43 things to do and attractions in Saumur

We had a memorable visit, especially because of the powerful and beautiful fashion exhibit. This was such an unexpected surprise. The range of ceramics on view was memorable and, as a decorative arts historian, fascinating. Displays of objects associated with the long historical importance of equestrian activities associated with Saumur were also interesting. If you find yourself in Saumur, this is worth a visit. Be warned that you can take a steep hike up to the Château but there are easier ways to walk so take that into consideration.

Beautiful chateau, so much to see. Amazing architecture, displays of artifacts and information boards. Staff friendly and helpful. Toilets were rank, someone had made a right mess.. Very interesting reading about the history of the chateau. Highly recommend.

Did not visit the inside as it is mainly various temporary expositions. The outside and the views over Saumur are well worth the detour. Old Town is lovely and the sense of peacefulness of a mid size French town on the river Loire is amazing.

9 euros each for entry. Vaguely interesting to visit inside but I was surprised at some of the displays - Persian ladies clothing and Chinese plates seemed incongruous. A couple of boards were available recounting the history of the Chateau but otherwise not so interesting. The city views were enchanting but much more could be made of the site really. Beware steep steps up and down. Perhaps a guided tour would be a good idea?

Well worth the visit. You can walk around the ramparts for free but 9.50€ to enter the museum and the Keep. There are also two restaurants there for coffee or lunch available until 2pm. Great views over the valley.

Beautiful setting, even if Google did not tell us about a parking facility near the entrance which would have saved us a big climb. Impressive chateau, the Loire is famous for them

Absolutely beautiful and amazing location. The Chateau is outstanding and so well cared for. Saumur is a very po Terry vibrant town with lots to see and do

An interesting show despite knowing very little about horses! The description is in French but I believe there may be an audio guide in English which would have been helpful. For the show it gets busy so arrive early as parking is limited. 30 minutes before should be OK.

Wasn't quite sure what to expect, and I'm not really a horsey person, but I was blown away by a really interesting and professional guided tour. Would love to come back and see the show

Great tour of the Cadre Noir Very caring and informative guide. Knew all about the horses. Had enough time with the horses as well as seeing the rest of the facilities. Horses are very relaxed and happy there.

Amazing. Very high level of horsemanship.

Great show at the Cadre Noir. I like the way they accommodate for people of determination. You can only admire the accomplishments of both horses and horsemen!

I was there for a visit or rather sight-seeing. Not bad, my reward and happiness of that day was to take photographs of the cute ponies at close distance :)

Very nice visit!! For someone that likes horses it is highly recommended however the visit is in French only

Basing my review on how much my tank mad son enjoyed it. And on that basis 5 stars!. Well laid out, plenty of real tanks and some super models as well.

A superb collection of historic, and often unique, armoured fighting vehicles. Spanning every era from WW1 to near modern, it is a very traditional museum (no bad thing!) i.e. it's simply a giant shed with loads of tanks etc on display, each properly labelled up with its history and features. No unnecessary dioramas...... A number of the tanks are in running order too, however none was when I visited. The only thing missing was its Tiger 1, which I took to be away somewhere being rebuilt. Good shop too; just a pity most of the really interesting books are in French (naturellement). You need 2 hours or more......

If you like tanks this is your place. A parade of tanks outside awaiting restoration. And hanger after hanger of 1stWW 2ndWW and more modern tanks. Took my two boys 15 and 8 they were enthralled. We spent about 2 hours there.

Great value for €11, world class collection. AMX 50 surbaissé next to the ARL44 is a truly intimidating sight! 10 points for whoever spots the vehicle sporting the 21st century schizoid man

Today we visited the Tank Museum, and it was an impressive experience. The collection features well-maintained tanks from different eras, covering everything from the early days of tank development to modern military vehicles. The museum was almost empty, which was surprising, given how interesting the topic is. The ticket price was just 11 euros per person, which felt very reasonable considering how expensive it must be to maintain such a collection. Each tank has an informational stand, also available in English, detailing its technical specifications and historical use, making it easy to learn more about each vehicle. One unique feature was the use of mannequins on some tanks and equipment, helping to visualize how soldiers would have operated them. The exhibition includes legendary tanks like the Tiger, Tiger II, T-34, and Panther, alongside many other iconic war machines. One downside was that the bathrooms were not working, which was inconvenient. But overall, for anyone interested in military history, engineering, or simply impressive machines, this museum is absolutely worth a visit!

A well laid out museum displaying the history of armour from WW1 to modern day. A great collection with info boards in French and English.

Over 200 tanks nicely placed and awesome cutouts with interesting details

my husband suggested this venue and i was very unsure. I am so pleased we went. this us a fascinating place - part museum / part mushroom farm. we learnt so much it was very cool in the caves (around 12C)a welcome respite on a very hot day.

Fascinating little museum in a cave! Off the beaten path but well worth the short detour. Great for kids too! Be careful if you are over 6’ tall. The cave has low ceilings.

Lovely place to while away 90 minutes. Fascinating to see the growing area plus the caves are lovely and cool. Nice gift shop and v.friendly staff.

I came here as part of a deal. I wouldn't normally have came to a place like this however it was really interesting and I learnt alot. I liked seeing the growing and really enjoyed my time. I would definitely recommend it

Excellent museum, preserved specimens in the first half, then a working mushroom farm! Very intimate experience, highly recommended

Loved this place. Quite large with loads to see. Mushrooms growing that I have never seen before. We bought some mushrooms and they were delicious 😀 The lady that served us was very helpful. Thank you

With over 350 species, here you can learn everything you didn’t know about mushrooms. They also grow 12 species and you can later buy fresh mushrooms in the museum shop

Really nice way to spend an hour and learn about the area. The sculptures are very impressive and the staff were very helpful

Awesome and unique! Highly recommended esp. if hot outside. Take a sweater as it is chilly inside.

Sculptures in limestone of several French churches set in a cave. Unique curiosity. Worth a look

Fantastically cool on a hot day. Limestone caves with ever growing collection of sculptures depicting local landmarks.

False publicity, don't go with kids under 7. Architecture in the valley is obviously not a family experience, that's why the site seduces kids with a promise to carve something themselves at the end. It isn't mentioned anywhere that the sculpturing is only meant for 7+ years old (paying tickets). We were refused the kits and therefore didn't go in. If we knew we would never have come. "A l’issue de la visite, les enfants qui le souhaitent peuvent s’initier à la sculpture." "A l’issue de la visite, une expérience inoubliable pour les enfants ! Une pierre de tuffeau, des outils et des conseils avisés."

Very impressive stone carvings. A great visit on a rainy day and the kids loved the carving at the end. But it is a bit expensive and the water around some of the models is pretty dirty and should be cleaned from time to time. We also got the offer to visit the mushroom museum after. Unless you are really into mushrooms don't do it

Beautifully done sculptures, in an interesting location. Great for when the weather is hot and want to cool down, whilst doing something interesting. Can even push the pram all the way round.

We visited Caves Ackerman in Saumur and had a great experience exploring the vast underground cellars filled with history, art, and wine. Established in 1811, it's the oldest sparkling wine producer in the Loire Valley, known for pioneering Saumur Brut and Crémant de Loire. The tour was both fun and informative, with interactive aroma stations, engaging videos about the cave’s history and wine production, and unique art displays like string animal drawings and stunning light projections. We especially enjoyed the wine tasting at the end, with non-alcoholic options available for children and non-drinkers. An unforgettable and enriching experience for wine lovers and curious travelers alike!

Wow this was quite an experience, wine caves in the quarry that had been used for the stone in Saumur. Artistic, nice escape from the heat, around 12c in the caves maybe cooler in parts and it was 36 c outside! Entertainment and lighting. Self guided tour.. easy to get around. Wine tasting after, not my taste but nice glasses and experience.

Well worth a visit. Beautiful and extraordinary cave to go around with some interesting use of the space with the art sculptures. We enjoyed a game of bowls before an imformative wine tasting. Then on to buy a bottle or two. All the team welcoming and friendly, as well as being very knowledgeable about the wines

One of the best caves we’ve ever visited – it feels more like an art museum! Even if you don’t join the guided tour, the self-guided one is a must. This is not just a cave, it's a masterpiece! After the visit we enjoyed a lovely tasting in the garden, while the main tasting room looked premium but was a bit crowded. The wines are excellent and reasonably priced. Totally recommend!

Great place to visit with the family! We have two children 8 and 10 so knew we weren't going to be able to do a proper tour and tasting, so having the option for a self guided tour was great. We even learnt a bit about production, the children enjoyed the sensory games and the (admittedly slightly odd) ball games at the end. Then they were offered fizzy grape juice whilst we did a little tasting. Perfect experience for what we were looking for!

We had a lovely time here. We just dropped in (didnt book) and were able to do s self guided tour of the caves. There is a lot of history and also very cool modern art! The art was one of the highlights. We then had a tasting of some sparkling and still wines. The staff was very knowledgeable and helpful. Overall great visit.

Incredible self-guided your and tasting following. The Cave is enormous and has many art installations in addition to telling the story of how the winery can to be and the method of making the wines. Highly recommended!

Excellent products from the absinthes through the triple secs and fruity liqueurs. We went on the tour, which was very informative. As others have said, the tour is in french. If you don't speak French well enough to understand the tour (as we don't) you are given a book that explains what is being said, but, despite what you are told, this is not the same as what the guide says. While our French is not good enough to discern the details, it was clear that much more was added verbally. To be fair to our guide, I think she recognised this and started repeating the descriptions in (very good!) English after the French about half way through. While the tastings were small, this was appreciated by the driver in our group and our guide made it clear that we could have more afterwards, and while I would have personally preferred more, in hindsight, their approach is probably right. A minor complaint is that the opening hours vary significantly from advertised. It took us three attempts to actually get in as the "open all day 10h to 19h" turned into a note on the door saying "back at 13:30". Upon returning at 13:45, it had been changed to "back at 14:30". Also, they only give tours at certain times, so check the website (and maybe call beforehand) before visiting. Some annoyances around timings aside, definitely worth the visit.

Very interesting and informative tour. The staff were friendly and helpful and they made a real effort to translate the tour into English for us. We were given a brief history of Combier and the distillation process before touring the distillery and copper stills. The tasting was great and very comprehensive. We were offered samples of whatever we wanted including liqueurs, absinthe, syrups and soupes. Théo is a top man. He was very helpful, knowledgable and a great guide for the experience. Lovely way to spend an hour - would highly reccomend.

We booked an English tour, but upon arrival at the distillery we were informed that the tour would need to be exclusively in French, as both French and English speaking guests had booked this time slot. It wasn’t clear why both languages couldn’t be spoken during the tour, or why preference was given towards native French speakers when we had booked an English tour. Fortunately the French guests were bi-lingual and told our guide that an English tour was fine for them. As it all worked out, still giving this tour five stars; but I would have been disappointed had the tour been in a language we didn’t understand. The tour itself was fascinating — we learned a brief history of Combier, the liquors and syrups produced, and the process of distilling triple sec. The original stills from the late 1800s are still in use! Our guide, Elise, was friendly, informative and interesting. She spoke fluent English & French. The tasting was also fun — it included their 4 most famous liquors (which are excellent), and she also offered us a taste of 2 others we were interested in trying. The tastes were small (maybe 1.5-2 ounces across all 6 tastes in total), which allowed us to enjoy them all responsibly. Overall, I’d highly recommend! The only thing that could have made this better was avoiding the initial confusion of our ‘English tour’ needing to be performed in French. While it all worked out (and Elise was kind enough to not charge us the 6€ fee as a result), I hope that Combier finds a way to ensure that all future guests get the tour in the language they signed up for.

Very disappointed. As someone who works in the tourist industry, I am always on a look out for new things to recommend to our guests, so we decided to try the original triple sec distillery in France. The website said that tours were in both English and French. Upon arrival we were informed that they are not. Most of our group didn't speak French. We were handed a little pamphlet and told that the girl giving the tour says exactly the same thing. Which was not the case at all. I spent the entire tour translating what I could while following along. The distillery visit lasted perhaps 15 minutes. The guide was very soft spoken and didn't bother to talk towards me, only including the native French speakers. The tasting was just as quick. The tasting glasses were the size of a medicine/pill cup. We were given barely enough to cover the bottom of our glass with no way to rinse our glasses or cleanse our palettes between each tasting. As a family who have visited many distilleries around the world, it was by far the worst tour we have ever experienced. Not worth your time.

As others have said, you may be given the impression that you are booking a tour in English, but will be given two laminated info sheets to read while you listen to an hour of French presentation. Skip the tour and just taste the products if you can. The shop/tasting bar is a bit chaotic at the end of the tour so more reason to avoid the Tour.

Old fashioned distillery producing innovative drinks. However production methods are antiquated and could be enhanced to improve productivity as well as profitabilty. I will not be surprised if this company is taken over in the next few years (i.e by a third country company - Chinese, Japanese, Indian, Brazilian, etc) as a way to enter the EU market. The demonstration was good.

Amazing tour. Tour lasted 30 mins - tasting session lasted 30 mins. The idea obviously worked as we went home having bought a bottle! The tour was in French but there was a leaflet in English. Recommended

A lovely cave, tasting is generous and informative, and there's a wonderful kids area to keep younger members of your party entertained.

We always make a visit when we’re in the area and stock up. We bought the crémant for our Sons wedding ( we had done the tour when he was young and wanted something special for the day so went to Veuve Amiot ) had labels printed of the happy couple and their wedding date. It was such a nice touch and set up in the cave, we called back 2 weeks later and picked the order up. Fabulous service. Everyone commented on how unique it was Forward 3 years later and we’ll celebrate again with the new addition and we hope to take him on the tour

Free tasting of a variety of sparkling wines ( including an excellent red ) all very reasonably priced. The person conducting the tasting was very knowledgeable and helpful, so was able to pick wines according to our tastes. We didn't have time to do the tour but I have done that before and remember it as providing a good incite into the production process and the history of Veuve Amiot

Visiting Veuve Amiot is always a pleasant experience. The staff is friendly and also quite good in English. I recommend the tour, some tasting and then shopping! If you are buying more than a few boxes, request to get a customer account for customer rewards.

Good tasting, staff informative sparkling wine great - good price

Friendly,helpful knowledgeable staff Large range of products including "flat" wines Tastings relaxed and not pressurised to buy, but of course we did

Excellent tour for €4, and a case of wine tour take home afterwards.

Loved this. Informative, friendly, good value with some tasty wine to finish with

I thoroughly enjoyed the tour and tasting at the Maison Grenelle. It was fascinating going into the tunnels and hearing about how they make their wine, and great to taste it. I just wish I'd been able to buy some to take away (being on a bike, this wasn't an option!)

We arrived quite late, close to closing time, but Olivia was very welcoming and kind. She guided us through a wonderful tasting and explained the wines with great passion. Sadly, we didn’t have time to visit the cellars, but the experience was still excellent!

It was a nice experience. When I arrived there was no guided tour and tasting scheduled. But a very kind and knowledgeable girl offered to accompany me. During the visit to the winery he explained the history, the techniques, the vineyards to me and answered many questions in both English and Italian. Then he made me taste 7 wines, 5 whites and 2 reds. Very good. I bought two exceptional ones to drink on New Year's Eve

They do only sparking wines here. This place does not have its own wine yards but uses other growers juices. Maybe good if you haven’t seen other much bigger cellars before. However at 5 eur / person it’s a fair deal. As there were only 4 foreigners taking part in the afternoon tour (at 2 pm) it was only in English.

A really lovely thing to do while in France. Great value for money that includes a very informative tour of the caves (in English) where I learnt quite a bit and then tasting. Would recommend to all wine lovers

A real find! Brilliant staff and a great insight into the history and tradition. The wines were really to our taste.

Had a great experience at l'anglois Winery! The tour was informative and fun, and James was a fantastic guide- knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate. The caves were impressive and the wine tasting was generous and tasty. I highly recommend! I came alone and James was very friendly and made me feel part of the group :)

Excellent visit. We joined an English tour where we learnt all about the grapes used in the production, how wonderful is produced before starting the tour. Be aware there are 80 steps from the entrance up to the production area so not suitable for those with limited mobility breathing issues etc. The wine tasting was great - we tasted 4 sparkling and 3 still

We stopped here for a tasting and were pleasantly surprised that a 3-wine tasting was free. I believe we were served by the owner, who was incredibly kind and welcoming. The wines were very good, the atmosphere was lovely, and the place has a premium feel. Sadly, we didn’t have time to see the cellars, but I’m sure they’re worth it.

It was a very welcoming place. James was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. The wine was beautiful. Would definitely recommend a visit - you get a decent variety of wine and sparkling wine for €5 per person.

I would give it 10 star's if I could. My wife and 2 kids did the English tour and it was fantastic. Our guide was so knowledgeable and patient. She explained things really well and answered our many questions with great patience. At the tasting afterwards James explained all 7 wines individually and in great detail. We had a superb time and I don't think it's possible to do it better. My only regret is that I couldn't buy loads of wine at their very competitive prices as we fly back home with Ryanair.

Had a great tasting here, I think the host’s name was Suzanne. Informative, generous, interesting. In English and French. Worth €5 to taste the range Worth calling ahead of time to see if cave visits are possible.

5 stars in every way. Our guide James was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and approachable. Great tour around the facilities and the caves. Really was excellent

We stumbled across this museum by accident, and it’s a hidden gem if you have interest in engineering or mechanics. There’s a cookie factory nearby where you can drop off the non-interested part of the group and enjoy the museum at your own pace. There is a lot to see, very diverse, including some exclusive collectibles. It’s nice to see that such relics are preserved and do not end up as scrap. Keep up the good work!

Lovely museum with loads of engines, right from the dawn of petrol engines right up to the present. All sorts, car, stationary, train, generators, etc. Lovely team running the museum, explaining the various exhibits and starting engines to demonstrate how the work.

Why go here? Why not! Nice collection. Great place to take your kids and explain how engines(piston/turbine/four stroke/two stroke etc…). Work.

The museum gives a bit of a messy vibe and not everything has a sign. But it has a nice introduction to the combustible engine (kid friendly), has engines of all sorts and time, and the owner will start some during the tour which is fun. He speaks a little English and knows a lot!

Excellent visit. Lovely helpfull people..masses of interesting engines and cars that run for hundreds of kilometers on a single litre of fuel..well worth a visit .

Top

A full and varied collection of engines ranging from very old to nearly new. The collection needs far more explanation in the form of diagrams and words. Visitors with little knowledge of the subject would be baffled by much of it.

This was a really nice place to call into for a tasting. Everyone was friendly and the wines were very good.

Good wines, very friendly. Tried 8 red, white, sparkling wines.

Friendly welcome and fabulous wine

Excellent wine

(Translated by Google) Arriving at the estate late in the morning, we were immediately greeted by a friendly young woman, then by Marie Françoise Ratron for the tasting. What a pleasure to chat with a woman with such an incredible background. The wines are truly high quality. This estate will become a staple for our future meals. A big thank you to the entire team. All the best. (Original) Arrivés en fin de matinée sur le domaine,nous sommes immédiatement accueillis par une jeune femme sympathique, puis par Marie Françoise Ratron pour la dégustation.

Un grand merci à toute l'équipe. Bonne continuation.

(Translated by Google) We had a wonderful time at Clos des Cordeliers. We enjoyed the wine tasting with Élisa and the very warm exchange with Marie-Françoise, the owner.

(Translated by Google) We have just left the estate after a private tour of the cellars and a tasting of the entire range in the company of Leanne, a friendly and wonderful hostess for 1.5 hours.

(Translated by Google) Very good evening at the Manoir de Launay during the night of the castles. Musicians, weather vanes, sculptures, old craft tools... This site is not sufficiently known. However, it deserves our attention! To reach 5 stars, I suggest adding demonstrations or craft workshops or a dramatized visit.... (Original) Très bonne soirée au Manoir de Launay lors de la nuit des châteaux. Des musiciens, des girouettes, des sculptures, des outils artisanaux anciens... Ce site n'est pas suffisamment connu.

(Translated by Google) A fascinating visit on Whit Saturday. Although we arrived as a couple without a reservation, the owner gave us a warm welcome and gave us a tour that lasted over two hours. With passion, he provided us with a historical context from the 11th to the 15th centuries, then led us through different parts of the manor, explaining the architectural details. A huge thank you to him. Also noteworthy is the large collection of antique tools that helps us understand the construction methods. I highly recommend a visit to this manor, which is atypical compared to most of the surrounding castles. However, reservations are recommended. (Original) Visite passionnante le samedi de Pentecôte. Bien que nous soyons arrivés à deux et sans réservation, le propriétaire nous a accueilli avec chaleur et nous a fait bénéficier d'une visite de plus de deux heures. Avec passion, il a su nous remettre dans le contexte historique des XIième au XVième siècles puis nous a conduit dans différentes parties du manoir en expliquant les details de l'architecture. Un très grand merci à lui. A noter également une importante collection d'outils anciens qui permet de comprendre les méthodes de construction. Je ne peux que recommander très chaudement la visite de ce Manoir atypique par rapport à la plupart des châteaux des environs. Il est quand même souhaitable de réserver.

We had a lovely stay. Our host welcomed us and showed us to our room. The room was beautifully furnished and had a great view over Saumur to the castle. Comfortable bed and a good breakfast, including gluten free bread and cereal (one of us has a gluten allergy). Would love to come back.

First the owners of the Chateau were so wonderful! When we arrived they helped us rent a car and even drove us to the rental car company. They provided us with a map and all the places we needed to see and also arranged for our taxi's throughout the trip. The Chateau itself was so lovely. The rooms were so large and had so many charming things about them. My niece felt like she was a princess staying in a castle. Breakfast in the morning was delicious and had everything that you would want or need. The location was also wonderful. Only a 10 minute taxi ride from the train station and a couple of miles from the center of Saumur and the Saumur Chateau! We really enjoyed all the shopping and restaurants that they had in town. The Chateau is also associated with the Bouvet Ladubay winery which we also visited. The wines were very good and the prices were very reasonable. There was a great restaurant in walking distance to the chateau which was nice to be able to go have dinner without having to get into the car. If you are looking for a wonderful place to get away, relax and enjoy the French Countryside we strongly recommend that you stay at the Bouvet Ladubay Chateau! You will not be disappointed.

We booked a one week stay for August but unfortunately we were not able to go due to the UK imposing quarantine restrictions two weeks before the holiday. We decided to book directly with the Chateau because we like to do our bit by helping small hotel owners with not having to pay the Booking.com fees. After our experience here I am never doing this again. We agreed in writing that we would pay a 600 Euro deposit which would be refunded in full if we cancelled by a certain date or if there was a quarantine imposed in the UK. Once we knew the UK were going to impose a quarantine we immediately called the hotel to cancel. We tried calling them multiple times a day over the course of a few days, as well as sending emails, but no one picked up the phone. We then got an email saying they were "thinking about returning our deposit money". After more emails from our side they finally responded saying that their definition of quarantine was "confinement" and so no money was to be returned to us. They also said that this was exactly how Booking.com did it which is completely wrong, as we would have had a free cancellation option on the platform. We kept calling and emailing to find a solution, but they never picked up the phone or answered any more emails. We sought the advice of a trade body who told us that we actually need to send a signed-for letter explaining our complaint and if they don't pay us we will take legal action. We sent the letter but it was never delivered and has now been returned to us. We are of course very disappointed to be treated like this and not having received back the €600, especially in the current situation. Either the hotel has gone into administration or they no longer live there, but please DO NOT BOOK WITH THIS HOTEL!

Elegant and historic chateau in enchanting gardens, with the most thoughtful hosts. We stayed in several chateaux in the region and the calm, quiet sophistication of Chateau Bovet-Ladubay made it our favourite. The swimming pool is great to cool off and relax, and the gardens have a lovely slightly wild fairytale feel. Made all the more story-like by the towering steampunkesque windmill powered watering system designed by a French inventor. And by the giant conservatory, almost as old as the house which is simply jaw dropping. You really feel part of history sitting there in the peace with a drink. We found the chateau's location great, a short cycle ride from several wine tastings including the Bouvet-Ladubay winery which also runs cycle tours through their underground wine caves. Or a short ride into the old town with all it's bars and restaurants. Highly recommended, our thanks go to Guillaume and his wife for looking after us so well.

Beautiful. We stayed in the apartment in the basement, very querky and it has a washing machine, which is brilliant if you're traveling around Europe like we were with a small boot (SLK), lol 😎😎. The young owners are tremendous and the location is fab, highly recommend.

We recently stayed at this lovingly renovated Chateau by the current owner, nothing was too much trouble, everything was just fabulous.

Gorgeous Chateau. Amazing staff. Beautiful town. Highly recommend.

Breathtakingly beautiful.

(Translated by Google) The best experience of our trip. EVERYTHING is perfect. Beautiful house and garden. We stayed in a room on the 2nd floor. This is the largest room. Two bedrooms, two bathrooms. Large living room. Perfect designer furnishings. Everything is new and modern. From the window you can see the garden and the Saumur castle in the distance. Perfect mattress on our bed, unfortunately I forgot to ask Claire what model it was). Daily cleaning and a wonderful breakfast, which was unexpected for an apartment. Breakfast deserves special attention. Everything is simple, but everything is magical. Magical presentation. A garden with perfectly trimmed grass, garden furniture and a swimming pool. Unfortunately it was chilly, although I really wanted to dive into it. The perfect hostess Claire, probably the best in all my travels. She helped us book dinners in restaurants, and it was just very pleasant to talk. (Original) Лучший опыт за нашу поездку. Идеально ВСЕ. Прекрасный дом и сад. Мы останавливались в номере на 2м этаже.

Идеальный матрас на нашей кровати, к сожалению забыл узнать у Claire, какой он модели). Ежедневная уборка и прекрасный завтрак, что было неожиданно для размещения в аппартаментах. Завтрак заслуживает отдельного внимания. Все просто, но все волшебно. Волшебная подача. Сад с идеально подстриженной травкой, садовой мебелью и бассейном. К сожалению было прохладно, хотя так и хотелось нырнуть в него. Идеальная хозяйка Claire, наверно самая лучшая за все мои путешествия. Помогла нам забронировать ужины в ресторанах, да и просто было очень приятно общаться.

Very friendly and helpful staff even if you are only buying a pencil and a fridge magnet.

As you would expect lots of leaflets but many were a good drive away.

Great tourist information with friendly staff, lots of leaflets and local information and good clean toilets. They also have a wine tasting section just next door where they always have a variety of local wines open for you to taste for free with no obligation to buy. It's well worth a visit if you enjoy wine!

Super helpful staff and lots of information about the area. If you're visiting the town then the little tourist train stops right outside and gives you a quick overview of Saumur. It stops at the chateau for a picture stop too (and it's free in your birthday!) Collected plenty of information for our next visit to the Loire..

Excellent tourist office - always busy but plenty of staff to help and a little shop, too. Also has excellent clean (free) toilets.

We had an excellent experience of the Office's package for the Anjou Vélo Vintage festival 2024. This comprised surpurb accommodation, bike hire and entry to one of the organised rides, a boat trip past the majestic waterfront of Saumur, and a delicious lunch. Special commendation is due to Angélique; she was our main contact and coordinated the package. She was helpful and friendly in all her communications, and she went out of her way during our stay to assist us.

Lovely staff, always very helpful. The attached wine store has a good selection at reasonable prices whilst the tourist information office also has gifts and local produce available. And, of course, plenty of information about what's going on locally.

Lots to see but no English tour available when we visited. Felt like lots of repetition but well worth a visit.

Well worth a visit as this museum clearly lays out the evolution of cavalry warfare, in an easy to follow route. You don’t have to be interested or knowledgeable in military matters as everything is very clear and also linked to key battles and their impact on history. This was recommended to us by a previous visitor and we are very pleased we followed the recommendation. An added bonus is that it was very quiet when we went, so we could take our time to read the interesting information provided.

No horses here! Interesting to see the Napoleonic history and some of the exhibits. Most of the displays have an English board as well as as a French one. 6 Euro entrance fee which is cheaper than some.... I noticed the French landed August 1st 1944 but I always thought D Day was somewhat earlier?

Important museum of the history of French Cavalry from early times to modern day with a lot on the 19C and also WW1/WW2. Some amazing artwork on display.

An interesting museum in an old building in the military quarter of Saumur. A lot of attention for Napoleon and the many (other) wars that France was engaged in until now.

Great museum, with also some tanks, close by to be viewed.

It would have been better if English subtitles were used. Again repetitive displays. Value for Money...only if your French.

Lovely building and great architecture. Stunning inside the church with it's stain glass windows and it's amazing pipe organ. Very peaceful and quiet, candles for you to buy and light for a lost one.

beautiful and tranquil church with tapestries up for show at the end of the church during summer

A beautiful historic church located in the heart of the city, surrounded by plenty of restaurants and cafes. The entrance is free, and when I visited at 2 PM on a weekday, the church was nearly empty, making it a peaceful place to explore. The church dates back to the 12th century, with additional sections added in the 16th and 17th centuries. Inside, there’s an impressive large organ, which underwent a renovation in 2023 along with other musical instruments. The stained glass windows are particularly stunning, adding a colorful and decorative touch to the space. At the back, there’s a wooden altar, beautifully crafted, and positioned beneath one of the most striking stained glass windows. Overall, it’s a wonderful place to step into history and enjoy a quiet moment. Perfect for a walk through the city and a visit to an authentic old church.

Nothing special

(Translated by Google) A church with a Baroque facade (but with, on the side, a very cute Romanesque entrance) a little tighter against the spur which carries the Château de Saumur. Beautiful church, particularly for its interior architecture, its sculptures (a beautiful Pietà), its large tapestries.

My dad and I had a great time at the winery. Our guide, Natalie, was very informative and was happy to speak in English for me. We learned a lot about the wine making process and got to see a good amount. The tasting was amazing and was paired with good snacks. We bought many bottles of wine to go because of how good they were! Highly recommend you come here if you’re in the area and are looking for a tour/tasting.

Wonderful tasting and location overlooking the quiet town and vineyards. We did an afternoon walk in tasting and they were easily able to accommodate us. Would definitely come back!

Top top winery. Excellent wines, for a good price. We were impressed by the hospitality of the staff as well. Congrats

Had an absolutely wonderful time!! Natalie was so welcoming, charming and answered any questions that we had. We learnt so much from her. We enjoyed our tasting session outside on the viranda in the glorious sun overlooking the valley. Definitely recommend coming here, Natalie is truly amazing!! and we will definitely be back. Our only regret was not buying enough wine 😁

Beautiful winery with excellent wine. We called the same day for a tasting reservation, and they were able to accommodate us. Our guide was friendly and informative. The wines were priced middle of the range, had a variety of crèment, white, rose and red. The guide selected our wines based on our preferred tasting profiles that we described to get. Great visit — would recommend!

Our recent visit to Domaine De Roche Ville was a truly unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, we were struck by the stunning beauty of the grounds. The vineyards stretch out across rolling hills. Our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the winemaking process. We learned so much about the history of the winery and the unique terroir of the region, which gave us a deeper appreciation for the wines we tasted. And speaking of the wine, it was spectacular! We tasted a variety of their reds and whites, and each one was a masterpiece. The sommelier expertly guided us through the tasting, explaining the different notes and characteristics of each wine. I highly recommend Domaine Rocheville to anyone looking for a top-notch wine tasting and tour experience!

Excellent wine tasting and tour given to us by Erwan. A very enjoyable experience seeing and learning about their process and history. The everyday increasing challenges of climate change were also very interesting. The facilities have a blend of modern production and old school cellar for letting time work its magic. Very cool to learn about their egg shape vessels for fermenting and ageing. Great wine tasting at the finish.

Excellent experience 👏 so knowledgeable and passionate. No charge for the tasting but of course Happy to purchase the wonderful wine. Only downside didn't get to see much of the Chateau!

Absolutely fantastic tasting experience. High-quality sparkling wines, whites, roses, and reds. This family owned and operated business is a real gem!

A good find! The owners are very approachable, helpful and knowledgeable, the wines are very good, all not to far from Saumur.

Some of our favourite wines tasted here, met the owner briefly, and the two girls who do the tastings etc. They were all very warm and friendly people, who were comfortable with speaking English (as our French is terrible). Small tasting room, we enjoyed our visit and felt very much at ease.

Visited on New Year's Eve 2017; charming small winery with a most enjoyable host/owner whose English is perfectly serviceable. Wines are delicious; I would have bought 2 cases (like the French neighbor who was loading up just as we arrived) but for no way to ship it home inexpensively. If in the Loire and near Saumur, I definitely recommend a visit to get a real, honest view of small French producers in the Loire.

Turned up unannounced at the end of working day. Given an unhurried tasting of wines which interested us. Consequently we placed substantial order with our friends. On leaving were given a complimentary bottle of sparkling wine. The following day we returned to buy 2 cases of same wine. Great business

In my opinion the best expression of all the potential of Cabernet Franc

Lovely peaceful gardens, signs in french and english. Lots of wildlife to see as well anongst the planted areas.

A really good and interesting gardens. A nice way too spend a few hours

Lovely peaceful gardens, we spent a few hours wondering around. Definitely worth a visit for garden enthusiasts.

Gardening throughout the ages. Very informative.

Learned a lot about the history of gardens, agriculture and how humans gave used plants, from long distant past to present.

This place is absolutely fascinating Beautiful and peaceful but that's only a small part of its merits. There is a very well planned and set out journey which takes you through the whole history of our relationship with plants. Some of them are quite extraordinary. There is a glorious subterranean part too. I can't praise the designers and gardeners highly enough. Enjoy.

Fascinating, a natural museum explaining the development of horticulture, even if you ate only slightly interested in gardening there is interest here!!

The Rotunda (is that the word - the dome thing) is fabulous and the windows an unsung joy. Also lovely to see the biblical themes throughout. But goodness me it needs some work. Cracks everywhere. Props holding things up. Scaffolding that may soon needs restoring itself. An embarrassment for a rich country to let such an amazing building get into this state.

Fascinating building with an amazing domed roof, and some interesting WW2 history too. Well worth the walk down from the town.

I was lucky enough that Elisabetta and her friends stopped me to offer a lemonade, a chat and walk around the church while sharing some interesting facts. I was not planning to stop but I'm glad I did!

Absolutely Beautiful roadside Chapel. Huge: very quiet location, beautiful, airy & calming inside

Beautiful!

This is a must see! Especially the inside of the church is very impressive!

Nice place

The owner is very friendly and the organic wines are great, particularly the sparkling white. Unlike others around it, this one is open and friendly on Saturdays.

Absolutely fantastic wines, lovely chat with the owners father. It was very relaxed, open on Saturdays. Highly recommend a visit.

(Translated by Google) I have done a lot of cellar visits, this one will remain engraved in my memory as Mickael was both professional and friendly.

(Original) J’ai fais beaucoup de visites de caves, celle ci restera gravé dans ma mémoire tant Mickael a été à la fois pro et sympathique.

(Translated by Google) Very nice visit. We were invited to the family table on the terrace to begin the tasting. Not a lot of fuss. The atmosphere is relaxed and very friendly. The presentation of the estate, winemaking techniques and range is clear and accessible. The wine range itself is beautiful. A summer rosé, a very pretty Chenin, 4 Cabernet Francs and a Crémant, all organic. More than an hour's visit, and a well-filled trunk on the way back. (Original) Très chouette visite. Nous avons été conviés à la table familiale sur la terrasse pour commencer la dégustation. Pas beaucoup de chichis. L'ambiance est détendue et très sympa.

Un rosé d'été, un très joli chenin, 4 cabernets francs et un crémant, le tout en bio. Plus d'une heure de visite, et un coffre bien rempli au retour.

The inside is very beautiful, the outside is a bit average

Love this place, go every time we are in the Loire!

(Translated by Google) To me, it is magnificent both outside and inside. It's my neighborhood church, I experienced all the events of my life and those of my parents there.

C'est l'église de mon quartier,j'y ai vécu tous les événements de ma vie et celles de mes parents. Elle est vraiment extraordinaire à voir. Allez y vous ne serez pas déçu.

(Translated by Google) Thank you to the parish for welcoming me when I was far from the faith (involved in New Age and occult practices) and ill (the doctors had given me until the end of the month). Jesus saved and healed me. Thanks to the support of the parishioners and priests, their listening and prayers, I was able to understand and feel Jesus' love for me. Thanks to their kindness, I persevered and was healed by the Lord through the Sacrament of the Sick, received during World Day of the Sick in February (at Notre Dame de l'Île-Bouchard). A true miracle. Thank you again for your patience and trust, and for helping me regain faith in God. Everyone is loved by God; Jesus loves us all, regardless of what we have done in the past. He died out of love for us. I wish you a wonderful visit to this place, and many enjoyable moments with the parish. It truly feels like a family; the Masses are always of high quality, and the Christmas celebrations are magnificent and heartwarming. The priests are incredibly kind and charitable to everyone, truly attentive both in confession and elsewhere. There are many activities for all ages (free workshops, etc.). All the best to everyone, and thank you again! 🙏🕊️🎶 (Original) Merci à la paroisse de m'avoir accueillit alors que j'étais loin de la foi (pratiques new age, occulte) et malade (les médecins m'avait donnés la fin du mois) et Jésus m'a sauvé et guérie. Grâce au soutien des paroissiens et des prêtres, leur écoutes et prières j'ai pu comprendre et ressentir l'amour de Jésus pour moi. Grâce à leur bienveillance j'ai tenu bon et j'ai été guérir par le Seigneur via le sacrement des malades reçu pendant la journée mondiale des malades en février (à Notre Dame de l'Île Bouchard). Un vrai Miracle. Merci encore pour la patience dont vous avez fait preuve mais aussi pour votre confiance, et de m'avoir aidé à retrouver confiance en Dieu. Chacun est aimé par Dieu, Jésus nous aime tous peu importe ce qu'on à fait par le passé .. il est mort par Amour pour nous. Je vous souhaite une belle visite dans ce lieu, et de beaux partages conviviaux avec la paroisse, c'est vraiment une famille les messes sont toujours de haute qualité et les célébrations de Noël somptueuses et chaleureuses. Les prêtres d'une infinie bonté et charité envers tous, vraiment à l'écoute que ce soit en confession ou en dehors. Beaucoup d'activités pour tous (ateliers gratuits etc). Bonne continuation à tous et encore un grand merci 🙏🕊️🎶

(Translated by Google) A little away from the city center, this Romanesque-style church is worth a visit. The organ is very beautiful. And in the background beautiful Gregorian chants. A very calming place. (Original) Un peu à l'écart du centre-ville, cette église de style roman mérite qu'on s'y attarde. L'orgue est très beau. Et en fond sonore de beaux chants grégoriens.

(Translated by Google) If you walk around Saumur, and you like old buildings, I recommend this church. On the bottom right you have a black madonna. You have a few more things to discover. I couldn't go to the crypt. You are 400m from the castle which is also worth seeing. (Original) Si vous vous promenez sur Saumur, et que vous aimez les vieux bâtiments, j vous conseille cette église. Sur le fond à droite vous avez une vierge noire. Vous avez quelques autres choses à découvrir. Je n'ai pas pu aller dans la crypte. Vous êtes à 400m du château qui est à faire également.

(Translated by Google) She's nice and she's a good point of reference. (Original) Elle est sympa et c'est un bon point de repère.

The veilles vignes Saumur Champigny in particular is a really nice wine and well priced. The people who work here are always polite and I was happy to return for the third time.

We're so glad we visited this wonderful independant winery. The tasting was so interesting - we tasted grapes in different terroir and learned about their process. Thanks!

Random visit and I’m so glad we chanced upon the place. Superb wines.

(Translated by Google) A cold and distant welcome from the manager. We came at a truly bad time. Yet, we came with great enthusiasm after a wonderful tasting at the restaurant. Despite our questions, they gave us no explanation about the wines. We still bought some wine because the product is good. We were definitely unlucky. (Original) Accueil froid et distant de la part de la gérante. Nous sommes venu au mauvais moment véritablement. Pourtant, nous venions avec beaucoup d'enthousiasme suite à une belle dégustation au restaurant. Aucunes explications sur les vins à nous donner malgré nos questions. Nous avons quand même acheté du vin car le produit est bon. Nous avons certainement pas eu de chance

(Translated by Google) We recently visited this winery with high expectations, but unfortunately the welcome was... frosty. The manager was very cold and nonchalant, barely answering our questions. There was no effort to present the wines or the vineyard, giving the impression that our presence was a nuisance rather than an advantage. Furthermore, the tasting, which is paid for (even though it is posted), is not directly mentioned to visitors, which may be surprising. And to top it all off, the wines offered were frankly disappointing. A rather negative experience for those hoping for a real sharing around wine. It's a shame... (Original) Nous avons récemment visité cette cave avec de grandes attentes, malheureusement l’accueil a été… glacial. La gérante était très froide et nonchalante, ne répondant quasiment pas à nos questions. Aucun effort pour présenter les vins ou le vignoble, donnant l’impression que notre présence était une gêne plutôt qu’un intérêt. De plus, la dégustation, qui est payante (même si c’est affiché), n’est pas mentionnée directement aux visiteurs, ce qui peut surprendre. Et pour couronner le tout, les vins proposés étaient franchement décevants. Une expérience plutôt négative pour qui espérait un vrai partage autour du vin. C'est dommage...

(Translated by Google) Purchased during a visit to Anjou, the l'Orée du Bois 2013 vintage turned out to be EXCEPTIONAL in this year 2018 (on oysters). A joy, this ULTIMATE bottle was so much appreciated by the four guests that we looked - in vain - for a second ... Chenin/Chardonnay blend (in what proportion?) and 9 months in oak barrels. Here is a winegrower who deserves a visit / the welcome is very friendly if I remember well and the site is splendid. (Original) Achetée lors d un passage en Anjou ,la cuvée l'Orée du Bois 2013 se révèle EXCEPTIONNELLE en cette année 2018 (sur des huîtres).Un bonheur ,cette ULTIME bouteille fut d autant appréciée par les quatre convives que l'on chercha -en vain -une seconde ...

(Translated by Google) Having booked a Sunday afternoon for our 9-year-old daughter's birthday party, the children had a great time. Due to a problem organizing the birthday (planned for the school party), the date was postponed thanks to the kindness of the owners at no additional cost. We had booked the Lilo and Stitch room; it was very nice. When we arrived, it was beautifully decorated and welcoming, and we had our own space. The children enjoyed the trampolines, then the park, and finished with the climbing frame. We had ordered cakes on site. Two large, delicious chocolate fondants were provided. The portions were very generous, as with two adults and 13 children, we only ate one cake. During the climbing frame, two children didn't want to eat it, so we took the opportunity to play bowling and dodgems. In summary, it was a very nice moment and a birthday on Sunday afternoon is ideal, because there are fewer people than on Saturday. (Original) Ayant réservé un dimanche après midi pour la fête d'anniversaire de notre fille de 9 ans, les enfants ont passé un super moment . Suite a un problème d'organisation du jour d'anniversaire (planifié le jour del fête de l'école), la date a été reportée grâce à la gentillesse des propriétaires sans frais additionnels. Nous avions réservé la salle Lilo et Stitch, elle était très chouette, lorsque nous sommes arrivés, elle était joliment décorée et chaleureuse et nous avions notre propre espace. Les enfants ont profité des trampolines puis du parc pour terminer par l'escalade. Nous avions commandé les gâteaux sur place. 2 gros fondants au chocolat délicieux ont été fournis. Les portions étaient très généreuse car avec 2 adultes et 13 enfants nous n'avons mangé qu'un seul gâteau. Lors de l'escalade, 2 Enfants n'en avaient pas envie, nous en avons profité pour jouer au bowling et au auto-tamponeuses. En résumé, c'était un très beau moment et un anniversaire le dimanche après midi est idéal, car il y a moins de monde que le samedi.

(Translated by Google) Great place for kids. We organized birthday parties for two of our daughters at the same time. 15 children to manage. Trained youths supervise and supervise the trampoline and climbing activities. The staff is very welcoming. There are also some activities for adults. The air-conditioned space means the noise isn't overwhelming like in other parks. A really great time, we loved it. (Original) Super endroit pour les enfants. Nous avons organisé les anniversaires de 2 de nos filles en même temps. 15 enfants à gérer. Des jeunes formés surveillent et encadrent les activités trampoline et escalade. Le personnel est très accueillant. Il y a aussi quelques activités pour adultes. Lieu climatisé, le bruit n'y est pas épuisant comme dans d'autres parcs Vraiment très bon moment, nous avons adoré.

(Translated by Google) We came to celebrate our daughter's 9th birthday this Saturday, and it was truly a great time. All the kids had a blast. One of the girls twisted her ankle, and an employee immediately came over to offer us ice cream. The private room was also a huge plus. Compared to other parks where all birthdays are held in the park with a lot of noise, having a large, isolated and beautifully decorated room is a huge plus that makes all the difference. We were just discovering the park, and we'll be happy to come back. We were won over by the concept of the three separate spaces. Having a 6-month-old baby and two older children, aged 6 and 9, everyone will be able to have fun in different spaces tailored to each individual! Thank you for this wonderful discovery. (Original) Nous sommes venu fêter les 9 ans de notre fille ce samedi, et c’était vraiment un super moment. Tous les enfants se sont éclatés, une des fille s’est tordu la cheville, un employé est immédiatement venu nous proposer de la glace .. Un gros gros plus également pour la salle privatisée. Comparé a d’autres parcs où tous les anniversaires se font dans le parc avec bcp bcp de bruit, la le fait d’avoir une grande salle isolée et super bien décorée c’est un énorme plus qui fait toute la différence. Nous découvrions le parc, et nous reviendrons avec plaisir, nous avons été séduit par le concept des 3 espaces distincts. Ayant un bébé de 6 mois et 2 grands de 6 et 9 ans, tout le monde va pouvoir s’amuser dans des espaces différents et adaptés à chacun ! Merci pour cette belle découverte

(Translated by Google) To date we have booked 2 hours of trampoline + climbing for each child. The children start with climbing and come to drink after 20 minutes and the staff took off their harnesses. However, the children had forgotten that they could not go out. I kindly asked the staff if they could go back and she told me no, even though their shoes were still in the climbing area and they had not even started the trampoline. As a regular customer, I was very disappointed not to have reinstated the two little ones so that they could finish their climbing session. (Original) A ce jour nous avons pris pour chaque enfant 2h trampoline + escalade. Les enfants commencent par l'escalade il viennes boire au bout de 20min et le personnel on enlevé leur baudrier. Hors les enfants avais oublié qu'il ne pouvait pas sortir je demande gentiment au personnel si il peuvent reprendre elle me dit que non alors que leurs chaussures sont encore dans l'espace escalade et qu'ils non meme pas commencé le trampoline. Étant client régulier tres déçu de ne pas avoir réintégrer les deux loulous pour qu'il puissent terminer leur cession escalade.

The children had a great time in the trampoline area. They also enjoyed the chocolate cake. The staff is very welcoming and friendly. It's an experience to try again and again. Thank you all. (Original) Ma fille Clara de 11 ans a fêté son anniversaire avec ses copains / copines, ambiance très agréable, parcours escalade sécurisés.

Merci à tous.

(Translated by Google) Hello... I wanted to light a candle to pray... Total surprise... absolutely no candles... nothing. I was told that people don't pay...

Sincerely (Original) Bjr.. j ai voulu mettre un cierge pour me recueillir... Étonnement total.. absolument aucun cierges.. rien On m a dit que les gens ne payaient pas..
