	Saumur: Chateau de Beaulieu - Traveler Reviews - CHATEAU DE BEAULIEU - TripAdvisor
		Saumur: Chateau de Beaulieu: "Chateau de Bealieu was a rare find and treat with the most charming hosts."
		The Chateau de Beaulieu was featured in an old Alistair Sawday guide so I checked on the web and the photos of the house and the rooms looking very appealing but what really enticed me to book was the warmth, friendliness and helpfulness of the hostess Mary when I phoned for more details.
		This "small" chateau (about 8 rooms) is very charming, the grounds are lovely, the rooms are perfect - clean and spacious, but the nicest thing about it are the incredibly hospitable hosts - an Irish couple, Mary and Conor.

		In the famous Les Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry at the Château de Chantilly, the 15th-century illuminated manuscript depicts Saumur as a fairy-tale castle of bell turrets and gilded weathercocks.
		Those adornments are largely gone, however, leaving a stark and foreboding fortress towering on a promontory over the Loire.
		The town of Saumur acquired it in 1908 and began preservation efforts that culminated in a complete restoration of the château's western tower and its south wing in 1999.
