The castle of Saumur was built between the 14th and 15th century and used to be the home of King René. Built by the Valois family, this castle used to be the home of the governors of the city until it became a prison. Later, it was turned into an armory. The castle was bought by the city in 1906 to host the city museum, now labelled Musée de France. The former appartments of the dukes of Anjou have rich collections: on the first storey of this monument you'll find many decorative art pieces, from furniture to tapestry and ceramics made between the 14th and the 18th century.
