Among the many castles in the Loire Valley, the Chateau de Saumur is located on the western outskirts. It may look a little drab compared to the magnificent castles, but its presence is imposing overlooking the Loire Valley. Personally, I like the balcony that can be seen next to the tower, but the castle is actually more impressive when viewed from the river side, on the opposite side of the photo.
I visited this castle twice, and one of the times it rained so hard that I couldn’t even get out of my car. The castle looked so terrifying washed by the storm. It was like seeing the history of this castle.
