Angers in the Maine-et-Loire
Angers, capital of Anjou, city of art and History
Angers, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and ranked as France's first green city, is a destination where the good life rhymes with quality of life.
Emblem of the city offering a beautiful view of the river, the 13th century castle-fortress, with 17 two-tone towers in slate and tuffeau, is proud to house within its walls "the Tapestry of the Apocalypse", the most important medieval woven work in the world at its 103 meters. In the historic center mainly located on the left bank of the Maine, the charm of the place is revealed at the bend of the cobbled streets, beautiful half-timbered residences, private mansions and remarkable sites such as the Saint-Maurice Cathedral and the Episcopal Palace... Just behind the cathedral, the Maison d'Adam, a superb testimony to the medieval era, now houses the Maison des Artisans. Very close by, the Place du Ralliement, the liveliest place in the city with its grand theater, restaurants, shops...
You will also find many museums in the center such as the Fine Arts museum housed in the oldest private mansion in Angers, the David d'Angers gallery, the Contemporary Tapestry Museum...
Angers is also a green lung nourished by many landscaped areas: the Parc Balzac, the Jardin des Plantes, the Jardin du Mail... pleasant settings for pretty walks.
There is no shortage of sports and leisure activities here, bike rides along the Loire, a Gabare cruise on the Maine or the leisure park on Lake Maine.
Just 25 minutes from the hotel, Terra Botanica, the first European theme park dedicated to plants on a dozen hectares with its magnificent gardens and attractions delights young and old.
