We visited Saumur today.
A few things:
- Why would you "restore" an ancient monument like a château? Isn't the fact that it's old and crumbly the appeal? I don't honestly see the point of hauling up new stone and rebuilding the castle bit by bit (except for perhaps the bridge. We don't want anyone to end up buried in a pile of centuries old rubble as a result of pre-sophisticated masonry). Also, my 2,50 EUR seemed a little ill spent as only one room of the château was accessible.
- The ducks in Saumur are the most aggressive water fowl I think I have seen in the World let alone France; a place in which I have always put faith in communicative abilities of wild birds and their brethren.
