        thanks for posting all those photos! And really nice photography too; it's difficult to take quality photos in settings like that but yours were clear with good color. Nice job!

At least the neighbourhood looks better that that of the Panzer Museum in Munster.
          It's in the Loire valley so there are scores of excellent chateaus to see. Pan around from the link below, you'll see some famous landmarks.
          Location

          I was to Saumur 2 years ago and was also impressed with the access to the vehicles. We stayed in Amboise and Chinon and went to these castles: Chenonceaux, Fougeres-sur-Bievre, Cheverney, Amboise, Saumur, and Chinon. We missed Chambord for lack of time, although we may go back there in the future (and again to Saumur!)

          In exchange I got 6 hours at the Musee des Blindes from the wife, which was my whole reason for going to the area. and the castles were pretty impressive too!

                            well,

                            I visited all the places that are mentioned on the Tanks in France website (these pictures are near to all mine), but infortunately, I was not able to visit any of the wonderful museums that can be visited in the USA, Russia, India or anywhere else.

                                Some other informations about Panther Tank of Saumur to complet your information. Sorry I was not on this Forum in 2009, so I give informations only today as I am a member of Saumur Museum Association !!

                                This Panther was in the years 1950's in front of Invalid Museum (In Paris) with another. (General Leclerc give them to General Koenig when entering in Paris as a present in 1944, it was 2 Panthers captured during the Battle of Dompaire ) and they stay in front of Invalid Museum until Years 1970's

                                THE FIRST IN THE YEAR 1970 (LOOK THE IMPACT IN RED ON THE FRONT MUDGUARD)



                                THE SECOND AT THE SAME PERIOD



                                In the Years 1970's the two Panthers are offered to Saumur Museum.

                                The first is today in Military Camp of Mourmelon (YOU CAN SEE ALWAYS THE IMPACT !) :





                                The second is the Panther wich you want to know the story. Today restoration has beginning :
