The Apocolype tapestry is a must see if you are in or near Angers. The craftsmanship is just stunning, and the imagery is fascinating. An audio guide is definitely recommended; you can pause the commentary to give you longer to study the individual panels.

We had a fantastic look around last week - a really knowledgeable guide who spoke excellent English and took a great deal of time to discuss horses with my granddaughter who is a very proficient and experienced dressage rider It's a absolute must place to visit if you are in the area even if you are not a Horsey person

Unique in its kind, Pierre et Lumière is an underground route where you can admire impressive sculptures representing the monuments and heritage of the Loire Valley. Hundreds of tons of stone were cut, cut and chiselled to the smallest detail. Nearly 3 years of work have been required to realize the sumptuous sculptures of castles, towns, villages and churches of our region, often carried out in low relief from the rock. A subtle luminous staging reveals the beauty of volumes and details. Lighting evolves, turns, changes colour to sublime every facet of the work. At the end of the visit, an unforgettable experience for children! A tuffeau stone, tools and wise advice. Here they are ready to create a memory that will remain etched in the stone and in their hearts.
we found this place quite interesting as it allows you to see many towns, cities in one spot - sculpted with great refinement - truly a must see - buy the 2 or 3 museum pass as it is more interesting

I heard about the the French Cavalry museum by reading one of General Pattons Biographies. After WW1 he toured France and made stop in Saumur to visit the Cavalry School. Reading this I new I had to go. The Museum had so many artefacts. The attendant was a member of the military and seeing my interest, despite a slight language barrier was more than happy to answer my questions. He showed my a pair of riding boots and a helmet donated by General Patton himself!
