A second attempt for Tine's hot air balloon birthday present from last year (if you remember, the flight was cancelled then).
But first we looked around Saumur, which I knew for its wine but discovered it is also very famous as a centre for the French cavalry.
There are very imposing buildings on a hot, hot day
Le Pont Cessart crossing the Loire
The entrance archway to the town hall
The very imposing château, watching over the town
There are statues and monuments to horses all over the town
L'École de Cavalerie, a training centre for mounted cavalry and armoured troops...
...and a couple of tanks on display in its grounds.
