Our visit to the Castle of Saumur
We start our route in the town of SAUMUR visiting its castle. We park our Xirivica in the Saumur Area, area of the PASS'ETAPES network, next to the area there is a campsite for those of you who have a predilection for campsites. Next to the area begins the bike path that leaves you at the foot of the castle. 2 km away separate our beloved mobile homes from this fantastic castle. Much of the bike lane runs along areas reserved exclusively for bicycles, but there are areas shared with cars. Be careful those of you with small children, in those areas cars pass close and fast. You park the
bicycles at the foot of the castle and you ascend to it along a path. The views of SAUMUR from its castle are impressive.
It was built by Louis XIII and later owned by the Dukes of Anjou. It is currently owned by the city of Saumur, and it is she in charge of restoring it to the splendor of yesteryear.
