Place du Ralliement, Central square in Angers, France

Place du Ralliement spans 11,000 square meters with dimensions of 110 meters in length and 100 meters in width in the heart of Angers.

The square changed its name from Place de la Guillotine to Place du Ralliement on April 23, 1791, marking a period of public gatherings and revolutionary events.

The Grand Theatre on the square presents regular performances throughout the year, contributing to the performing arts scene of the Loire Valley region.

The pedestrian zone includes an underground parking facility with 420 spaces, while the modern tram system provides direct access to the square.

The space underwent transformation from narrow streets and cemeteries to its current form following two significant fires in 1865 and 1872.

Angers, between castles, gardens, and Loire reflections: the most beautiful places to photograph

Angers has the quiet charm of cities where old stones converse with light. Royal city, capital of Anjou, it combines the medieval strictness of its castle with the Gothic grace of its cathedral and the plant-like softness of its gardens. Along the banks of the Maine, bridges, towers, and rooftops create a perfect setting for photographers. The tapestries of the Apocalypse, timber houses, flowering paths of the Jardin du Mail, or reflections of the Lake of Maine all tell the same story: a city where history is both admired and lived. Behind the blond stone facades, Angers hides an artist’s soul, with bright museums, medieval alleys, and lively markets. An elegant and accessible destination, appealing to both architecture enthusiasts and those seeking peaceful landscapes.
