About Angers

Angers is the old capital of Anjou on the Maine River, with a giant black-and-white castle, medieval tapestries and the vineyards of the Loire close by.

Angers' château is a fortress of dark slate and pale tuffeau stone with seventeen round towers, raised in the thirteenth century above the Maine river. Inside hangs the Apocalypse set, a monumental series of tapestries woven in the late fourteenth century that illustrates the Book of Revelation. The cathedral of Saint-Maurice and the half-timbered Maison d'Adam stand in the old centre.
