Even if you don't have the time or desire to visit the castle, the view is worth it.

Even if it cannot be compared to the very large cathedrals, it is still worth a visit, not least because of the windows.

It's more worthwhile during the day, as the car lights are blinding at night.

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.

In 1028, Count Fulk Nerra of Anjou had this stone bridge rebuilt, spanning the Maine River between the city and the opposite bank, which was not under the city's control. It was called the "Great Bridge." As with other European bridges of this period, houses were gradually built here as well. The resulting street included watermills, fisheries, and goldsmiths.

The Hôtel de Pincé, an important Angevin Renaissance building converted into a museum at the end of the 19th century, is a place where one can discover the ancient Mediterranean, pre-Columbian and Asian civilizations. In addition, a thematic exhibition, renewed every year, recalls the diversity and richness of all the collections of the Angers museums and art library.

From the castle in Angers you have a brilliant view of the Maine and the other side of the city.
