is a historic castle situated in the city of Angers, Loire Valley, in the department of Maine-et-Loire. This place has a rich history, and you will greatly appreciate this castle, which was built in the 9th century, for its unique structural design. Further construction in the thirteenth century added to the size of this castle. The castle served as a fortress because of its strategic location, overlooking the River Maine. Tourists coming to the castle can view the interiors that are tastefully decorated. Parisian tapestry belonging to ancient ages adorns the castle. The chapel inside the castle is also worth a visit. Despite suffering damages during the World War and later, it has been renovated and is a museum of intricate and priceless tapestry work.

  • We spent a pleasant few hours here taking in the history of the chateau itself and the tapestry. We had been here many years ago but there were new things to see. Nice lunch here too.
  • Interesting smaller castle with gardens. The highlight are monumental wall carpets in a special exhibit. We'll worth a visit.
