Couvent du Carmel d'Angers, Catholic convent in La Doutre district, Angers, France.

The Couvent du Carmel d'Angers at 39 Rue Lionnaise is a long two-storey stone building with a steep grey slate roof and a small brick chimney at one end. Its upper facade has four round-arched dormer windows above six rectangular windows with pale stone surrounds, and the ground floor is an arcade of eight round arches on stone pilasters, fronted by a low green hedge and rose bushes.

The first Carmelite nuns arrived in Angers in 1626. On 14 April 1638 the community bought the hôtel de Puy-Gaillard, named after Jean de Léaumont, seigneur de Puygaillard and governor of Anjou, and moved in early in 1639. The convent and chapel were built between 1646 and 1721. Expelled in 1792 during the French Revolution, the nuns were replaced in 1850 by Carmelites from Cahors, who bought the buildings back in 1855. The chapel, destroyed by bombs in 1944, was rebuilt in 1952 and restructured in 2009. The convent was classified as a monument historique in 1963.

The convent's name recalls its origin: the Carmelite community bought the hôtel de Puy-Gaillard on 14 April 1638, named after Jean de Léaumont, seigneur de Puygaillard and governor of Anjou, and moved in early 1639. The sisters were expelled in 1792 during the French Revolution; Carmelites from Cahors resettled the house in 1850 and bought the buildings back in 1855. About 15 nuns live there today.

The convent stands at 39 Rue Lionnaise in the La Doutre district, its arcade of eight round arches facing the street behind a low hedge and rose bushes. The cloister and monastic rooms are private; the facade, dormer windows and slate roof are what a passer-by can see. The chapel, rebuilt in 1952 after 1944 bombing, is not described as open to visitors in the sources.

The chapel was destroyed by bombs in 1944, rebuilt in 1952 and restructured in 2009. The community today numbers about fifteen nuns. The buildings were bought back in 1855 by Carmelites from Cahors, who resettled the site in 1850.
