Cathedrale St-Maurice - Dating from the 12th century the cathedral has been added to over the ages and has some beautiful and ancient stained-glass windows that have made the church famous.
Chateau d'Angers - Home to the notorious Black Falcon, the Comtes d'Anjou, in the ninth century, and later the scene of King Rene’s dazzling courtesans and brilliant soirees, the chateau eventually was turned into a prison by Louis XIV, and then served time as the Nazi’s munitions depot when it was bombed by the Allies in 1944. Guided tours are offered of this historic and interesting place.
Musee Jean Lurçat - This museum is housed in a building that dates back to 1174, and was then a hospital. Today it displays an assortment of artifacts and items that will keep you intrigued for hours.
Nightlife - The centre of Angers nightlife is in the place du Ralliement and rue St-Laud where there are numerous bars and cafes. There is also a disco on 38 rue St-Laud, which is great for meeting singles. The Copacabana on 15 rue de la Roë is another venue worth mentioning where rock and roll, reggae and salsa are the nightly music fare.
Getting There - The Angers train station is within an easy walk to the chateau, and receives three trains a day from Paris, and seven from Tours. There are also buses running from Saumur, and if coming from Tours by car, and then take the N152 southwest to Saumur and turn west from there on the D952. |
