Musee de la Cavalerie - Saumur, visit summer 2019




Right folks - some pictures from my summer visit to the Cavalry Museum in Saumur, hosted in one of the old building used for training French Cavalry -  mostly images from Napoleonic times.

Worth an hour, not much more.

  2. A fasdcinating series called "The War Years" features interviews with veteran cadets of Saumur who held up the Germans for a week in 1940.

  3. Very nice, sir! I was in Saumur last September myself, but unfortunately this little gem was closed at the time. For any other wargamers thinking of visiting that part of the world, I highly recommend the wargames hotel in Mayenne, L'Hotel de Herce. See the report of my stay there on the BBBBlog: https://bloodybigbattles.blogspot.com/2020/09/wargames-holiday-hotel-mayenne.html
