ASTACK

Gorgeous - Tale Style castle. Must visit when passing or staying in Saumur. Reasonable price tickets, gorgeous views, lots of history and fascinating high ceiling rooms.

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.

Classic Loire chateau. Not a great amount of items inside, but worth a visit. Restaunt/cafe on-site.

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.

Nice enough castle with accessible paths for bicycles, buggies (and I think even cars) and paths with steps. Once inside, you have to take the stairs if you wish to see anything of note. Most of the main descriptive text is in French and English (look for cards in English if you don't see translations on the walls). That said, the outside with the black slate roofs is more impressive than the inside. If you don't get tickets in advance, bear in mind it's the same queue and counters for both tickets and gift shop.

Spectacularly beautiful Chateau - worth visiting just to see the outside. Not really much to see inside though - a couple of rooms and a lot of ceramics and old horsey stuff ( strong equine tradition in Saumur). As is usual in France the information boards are only in French but there are guide pamphlets in other languages. If you can’t access the interior due to mobility issues you haven’t missed much but worth seeing just for the outside. Really is beautiful.

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.

Great views and interesting place to be. Wouldn’t expect to be more than an hour inside. Lockers for oversized rucksacks available free of charge. Dogs allowed in gardens but not the chateau.
