SAUMUR, a considerable town in the central part of 
France, in Anjou, situated , on the southern bank of the 
Loire. It stands in a delightful country, and though indif¬ 
ferently built, is on the whole a pleasant place, containing a 
population of nearly 10,000. It has two bridges over the 
Loire, the one from the northern bank to an island in the 
middle, and the other from the island to the southern bank. 
The former was much injured by the Vendeans in the revo¬ 
lutionary war ; but the latter, consisting of twelve elliptical 
arches, each of full 60 feet span, remains entire, and is one 
of the finest structures of the kind in France. The princi¬ 
pal street, built on a line with this bridge, traverses the 
greater part of the town, and contains the theatre and several 
other elegant buildings. The castle, situated on an eminence, 
which commands the town, is a very ancient building, 
flanked with towers. It is now used as a depot for military 
scores. The new cavalry barracks are spacious and hand¬ 
some. The town contains several squares, but part of it is 
not paved, and other parts are inconveniently steep. It has 
some interesting remains of Roman and Celtic antiquities, 
but its great attraction is the beauty of the surrounding 
scenery. At a short distance is Pont Fouchard, a bridge 
finished in 1816, and consisting of three large and capacious 
arches, over a river flowing parallel to the Loire. Saumur 
was formerly fortified, and has long been noted for Protest¬ 
antism. In the time of Henry IV. the governor of this part 
of France was Duplessis Momay, who founded here a Pro¬ 
testant academy, much resorted toduringthe 17th century, but 
dissolved by Louis XIV. in 1648. This, and the further 
effects of the revocation of the edict of Nantes, reduced ma¬ 
terially the trade and population of the town : but it has still 
manufactures of linen, woollens, leather, and some trade in 
wine and brandy. Saumur was the birlh-place of the cele¬ 
brated Madame Dacier. The road to Tours is along the 
bank,
