Runnin along the Loire, Saumur is one...

Runnin along the Loire, Saumur is one of the most historic cities in the region of Pays de la Loire. Its legacy is due to its magnificent castle perched high above the city and surrounded by green vineyards. The distinctive white color of the houses has earned the name "the white city". The reason for this colour is the tufa stone. A mineral that is mined from quarries locally and have helped build many monuments of France. Saumur is an unusual and mysterious city that holds beautiful secrets found on every corner. With over 54 protected monuments, this city was the birthplace of French Protestantism.

The differences between religions led to the construction of important cultural and architectural heritage. Dominated by the proud silhouette of its ancient castle Saumur is the birthplace of riding across the country. The Cadre Noir National Equestrian School. The first rate facilities make Saumur the pride of equestrian France. Its fame preceded it! The city has much to see and explore. Take stock of this land as it is the beginning and end of many traditions of Pays de la Loire.
