Départ conseillé

Parking à proximité

Parking Centr'Halles : 16 rue Dacier In Saumur, several parking options are available to visitors depending on their needs. The Centr’Halles car park, located in the heart of the historic center, is ideal for exploring the city on foot, though it is paid and closed at night. Place de la République, opposite the Town Hall, also offers paid spaces in the orange zone—a regulated parking area with a maximum duration of 2 hours and 30 minutes (free on Sundays). For those visiting the château, the Château de Saumur car park provides direct access to the fortress and a beautiful view over the town. Finally, several free or long-term car parks, such as those on Quai Carnot or Place Beaurepaire, are located just a few minutes’ walk from the city center.
