In the heart of western France lies Saumur, a picturesque town known as the "pearl of Anjou," with breathtaking views of the Loire Valley.

Another notable personality is Charles de Foucauld, a French religious character and explorer born in Saumur, whose spiritual and humanitarian work garnered worldwide recognition. Saumur's equestrian heritage is renowned, thanks to the Cadre Noir, an elite horse-riding academy that showcases the art of dressage and upholds the French equestrian tradition. Immerse yourself in Saumur's timeless beauty and explore its fascinating past. Wander through its winding streets, discover the iconic landmarks, and feel the allure of a town steeped in history.
