Seen from the town, the château is part of Saumur's silhouette; from its elevated position, the river setting becomes clearer. The collections inside add another reason to stay. Give the building time as both a lookout and a museum rather than just a photo stop.
What to look for
Pair the skyline view with collections inside the restored residence.
Useful to know
Allow time for the museum collections after taking in the hilltop setting.
