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.

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.
