Cour d'appel d'Angers, Historical courthouse in central Angers, France.

The Palais de justice d'Angers stands at 1, rue Waldeck-Rousseau facing the place du Maréchal-Leclerc, closing the esplanade of the former Champ-de-Mars, now the jardin du Mail. Built to plans by Charles-Édouard Isabelle from 1863 and inaugurated in 1875, it has severe elevations and a projecting central section of six Ionic columns beneath a sculpted pediment. Symmetrical stone wings flank the recessed entrance wall, and a bronze sculptural group stands on a white stone pedestal on the steps.

Construction of a new courthouse on Place Leclerc began in 1863 to plans by architect Charles-Édouard Isabelle, with his stepson Paul Mültzer Isabelle overseeing the works. It was inaugurated in 1875, replacing the old présidial on Place des Halles, whose entrance portal was moved into the gardens of the former Hôpital Saint-Jean. The facades and roofs were inscribed as a monument historique on 29 October 1975.

The courthouse keeps its original judicial role: it houses the Cour d'appel d'Angers and the Tribunal judiciaire. Its name comes from the Palais de justice, and the building closes the esplanade of the former Champ-de-Mars, now the Jardin du Mail. The entrance portal of the old présidial from the place des Halles was moved into the gardens of the former Hôpital Saint-Jean.

The building is located downtown on Rue Waldeck Rousseau and is easily accessible on foot. Visitors should keep in mind that this is an active courthouse, so access and viewable areas may be limited depending on court proceedings.

The building is a rare example of a courthouse that functions simultaneously as an active judicial center and a historical monument without having abandoned its original purpose. This dual role makes it a living part of the city's heritage.
