Château de Saumur: its different tones


On the last night (Sunday) of our #loirevelo trip we stayed in the excellent Hotel Anne d'Anjou in Saumur. The front façade of the hotel faces the Loire, while the back is overlooked by the château. I took a number of photos of the château from the time of our arrival around 7.30pm through to about 6.30am Monday morning.
