In the French Loire Valley region of Saumur, wine and the arts blend well with beauty, both natural and man-made.
Here, exceptional vineyards sit among architectural treasures, such as the Royal Abbey of Fontevraud.
Founded in 1101, it’s the largest Abbey in Europe and is now a hotel, whose grounds extend over fourteen hectares.
FRANCE 24’s “You are here” takes you to see it
and to meet a local Saumur winegrower.
