It is for their soft and luminous landscapes that the kings of France, at the end of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, chose to be installed on the edges of the Loire. Shelling itself along the river, the first ligerian park joins together territories angevins and tourangeaux with the common identity: at the time of the division of the kingdom, in December 22, 1789, the republicans had not already wanted to join together in only one department the towns of Saumur, Bourgueil, Chinon and Richelieu?
