Prison, Chateau de Saumur, Saumur, Maine-et-Loire, France
Former prison, used in 1810 by order of Napoleon, in the Chateau de Saumur, in Saumur, Maine-et-Loire, France. A castle was first built here at the confluence of the Loire and Thouet rivers under Thibaud I, Count of Blois, in the 10th century. It was then owned by the Dukes of Anjou and added to many times, including the star shaped fortifications in the 16th century, designed by Bartholomeo. The chateau is listed as a historic monument and forms part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It houses the Musee des Arts Decoratifs and Musee du Cheval. Picture by Manuel Cohen
