Église Saint-Martin d'Angers, Medieval church in Angers, France.

Église Saint-Martin d'Angers is a church in the heart of the city featuring a Gothic choir and architectural elements spanning multiple construction periods. The nave and side aisles display layers of design reflecting how the building evolved over centuries.

Archaeological excavations in the 20th century uncovered the foundations of earlier churches dating back to the 5th through 7th centuries. These discoveries reveal that this location served as an important religious site during the early medieval period.

The church serves as a performance venue and exhibition space, hosting various cultural events throughout the year in its restored medieval structure.

The church is open daily between May and January during afternoon hours. Guided tours can be arranged, and staff on-site can provide more details about visiting options.

In the 10th century, Count Foulques Nerra established a group of canons at this church. This foundation marked a turning point in how the religious community was organized here.

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.
