Angers Essentials

Angers, the capital of Anjou, offers a dense concentration of medieval and Renaissance heritage. The 13th-century Château d'Angers houses the massive Apocalypse Tapestry, while the Saint-Maurice Cathedral showcases unique Plantagenet Gothic architecture. Visitors can explore the 15th-century timber-framed Maison d’Adam and the Jean-Lurçat Museum, which displays contemporary textile art within a 12th-century hospital. The city’s artistic legacy continues at the Galerie David d'Angers, set in a restored abbey church, and the Musée des Beaux-Arts, located in the historic Logis Barrault.
