You'll want to visit the Saumur castle and the Riding School (Ecole nationale d'equitation), known worldwide for its annual shows during the month of July.

Within easy driving distance there are châteaux, each with their own style and charm – from the medieval period through the 19th century.

Chinon, its castle overlooking the Vienne and the old town make for a lovely day excursion.

The 12th-century Royal Abbey of Fontevraud is where Henry II, Eleanor of Acquitaine and their son, Richard the Lionhearted, are buried.

Saumur has a 9-hole golf course and Fontevraud's 18-hole course is in a beautiful location.

Horse riding, canoeing on the Loire, tennis, biking and more are all available close by. Bike and canoe rentals are easy to arrange.

Don't miss the Vegetable Market Sunday mornings in Montsoreau for a taste of an authentic French market. Relax on the terrasse of the local cafes bordering the Loire River while reading La Dame de Montsoreau – Alexander Dumas' celebrated heroine.

The elegant church built in the 12th and 13th centuries in nearby Candes-St-Martin is exquisite.
