Châteaux de Saumur

The Châteaux de Saumur was just across the river from our RV in the Municipal Campsite at Saumur. We’ll bet no hotel room offered such a view.

The Châteaux is situated on the side of a hill, south of the Loire. On the grounds just outside and above the Châteaux, a theatre with a couple of dozen benches faced a stage in preparation for musical concerts and other artistic presentations. This is common practice throughout Europe — open-air theaters next to castles, cathedrals, in town squares, and even in the Michelangelo designed Piazza del Campidoglio on Capitol Hill, in front of the City Hall in Rome.
