Discover one of the best preserved medieval fortresses in France. Angers castle with its emblematic 800m of castellated enclosure looks as if it is a natural extension of the rocky promontory sitting high above the river Maine.

Inside the Angers castle, discover the great treasure: the literally monumental Apocalypse tapestry.
