Maine

Superb walk around the lake

Angers Castle is located on the Maine River, near the confluence of the Maine and Loire. Angers is today the capital of the Maine-et-Loire department in the Pays de la Loire region; it was the ancient capital of Anjou.

The Piverdière belvedere offers a unique view of the Maine valley. La Piverdière is bordered to the north by the landscaped cemetery, to the south by the Champ Bossé meadows, to the east by the Maine and to the west by the Moncellière road. It is accessed either from the upper plateau or from the towpath, via a path crossing the classified wood.

The Angers fortress impresses with its ramparts and towers made of schist and limestone. Also called the castle of the Dukes of Anjou, the monument was a privileged witness to the History of France with the Viking invasions, the birth of the dynasty from which the famous dungeon builder Foulque Nerra came, the opposition of the Plantagenets and the Capetians, the reign of Saint Louis or the home of the Dukes of Anjou and Sicily.

The Château d'Angers, also called the Château des Ducs d'Anjou, dominates the Maine on its rocky promontory. Built in the 13th century under the orders of Louis IX, it was transformed into a stately residence by the Dukes of Anjou in the 15th century. The castle, its 17 defensive towers and its moat transformed into gardens can be visited all year round.

The castle is a bulwark, huge and still very well preserved. The museum in the castle contains the 14th century "Apocalypse Tapestry", which was created between 1377 and 1382.

There are toilets so you can get changed inside
