The next morning following my visit to the Tank museum, we wandered through the town and up to the beautiful Chateau De Saumur perched high above the town. Originally this was constructed as a castle in the 10th century, but later developed as a chateau; it was at one time converted into a prison by Napoleon Bonaparte. The first panoramic image is of the town taken from the Cessart bridge, prior to the weather turning against us.

The above image illustrates the level of detail possible in an 11 image panoramic stitch..pity I don’t have the wall space to hang it…! This is a single image from the far left hand corner of the panoramic image that heads this post…
