Saint-Lambert-des-Levées, a wine-growing village in Anjou

Saint-Lambert-des-Levées is a former commune in Maine-et-Loire, now a delegated commune attached to Saumur, located on the left bank of the Loire. Its name evokes the 'levées' – the Loire dikes that have protected the agricultural land since the Middle Ages. This wine-growing area is at the heart of the Saumur-Champigny appellation, one of the finest red wines of the Loire, made from Cabernet Franc grown on the tuffeau soils of Saumur.

The vineyards stretch as far as the eye can see around the village, and cellars dug into the tuffeau dot the hillsides. It is in this picturesque and authentic setting that the spring car boot sale takes place every June, offering treasure hunting enthusiasts a pleasant getaway just a few kilometers from the center of Saumur.
