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.
