Parks and castles

The impressive fortress looming over the Maine right in the centre of Angers is the castle of the Dukes of Anjou. Angers castle is one of 5 monuments belonging to the Historic Monuments Centre among the most visited in France. It houses a heritage treasure unique in the world, the Apocalypse tapestry.

There are more castles in Anjou than anywhere else in France. You’ll find around a dozen of them in and around Angers, all of them magnificent, including Brissac – the highest castle in France – and the Plessis-Bourré, where the film “Peau d’âne” (Donkey Skin) was shot.
