Travel Guide Souzay-Champigny

On the road of the Dukes of Anjou, 6 kilometres east of Saumur, in the direction of Montsoreau, this small troglodyte and wine-producing village has only 800 inhabitants. Mill and mulberry trees several hundred years old on an island, wash house, castle, fortified house, manor houses and beautiful residences make the charm of the village. However, its originality lies mainly in its underground streets, including the rue du commerce, which still had stalls at the beginning of the 20th century. Further south, its vineyards stretch for miles around, spaced out by gamey woods on the border of the immense forest of Fontevraud. To the north, the commune is bordered by the Loire for a short distance
