château d'angers


The Château d'Angers is a testament to the rich history of the Loire Valley. This majestic castle, with origins dating back to the 9th century, was a stronghold of the powerful Counts of Anjou. Its expansion in the 13th century reflects the growing influence of the Anjou dynasty. Perched above the river Maine, the castle offers a glimpse into the medieval architecture and the strategic importance of its location in French history. Today, it stands as a cultural monument, inviting visitors to explore its storied walls and the famous Apocalypse Tapestry housed within.
