Fabrique de soldats de plomb CBG Mignot

Since 1825, the same gestures have been repeated... Founded in Paris in 1825 and based in the Saumur region since 1994, CBG Mignot has been perpetuating the great tradition of lead soldiers for almost two hundred years. The fundamentally artisanal nature of this production means that no two figurines are alike, and each one is in some way an original. This personalisation of each figurine in no way detracts from the historical accuracy. Last but not least for collectors is the rarity of the figurines, due to the very slow pace at which they are produced by hand. Visit the CBG Mignot workshop: - For individuals: Visit the reception room (where the different stages in the manufacture of the figurines are explained using panels, exhibits and videos) and the exhibition room where the collections are displayed. In these showcases, you'll discover a wide variety of figurines and "dioramas" depicting military or civilian themes: the Ancien Régime, the Napoleonic Wars, the First World War... as well as gendarmes, firemen, riders from the Cadre Noir, circus or music-hall performers and cyclists. You can see the studio painter at work on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays. No painting demonstrations between 30 July and 16 August (the painter is on holiday). Reservations required: by e-mail, telephone or via the website cbgmignot.simplybook.it: €3 (to be used against your purchases in the shop). - For groups (up to 20 people): Guided tour of the foundry with foundry demonstration and explanations of the various stages in the manufacture of the figurines (€54 per group of up to 12 people, then €4.50 per additional person). Booking required by telephone or e-mail.

Château-Musée de Saumur
25 km

Château-Musée de Saumur

René I of Anjou’s "Château of Love " on its "emerald rock", the Château de Saumur played host to kings and prisoners and is one of the greatest and last untouched remnants of princely architecture from the Valois dynasty in the Middle Ages. The château appeared in all its glory in the Très Riches Heures du duc de Berry illumination and has had a turbulent past, narrowly avoiding demolition. The 11th century Romanesque tower was surrounded by four round towers before it was levelled off. Louis I of Anjou decided to transform the château into a palace. In the 15 century, his son, Louis II, made it look how you see it now. King René’s spirit may linger but, for a century after his death, it was left empty until the protestant Duplessis-Mornay moved in in 1589. Dark times came after the governor was forced into exile following Henri IV’s assassination. The château was pillaged by Louis XIII’s soldiers and saved from demolition by Napoleon I who turned it into a state prison. Saumur Council bought it in 1906 to restore it to house the municipal museum, approved by Musée de France, displaying notably Count Charles Lair’s collection. The first floor of the castle houses an exceptional collection of decorative arts including furniture, tapestries and ceramics from the 14th to the 18th century. As an international horse riding capital, Saumur collects harness equipment from Antiquity to the early 20th century. A selection from the Horse collection (saddles, bits, stirrups) is on display in the former abbey.
