Angers
The holiday destination of Angers straddles the Maine River,
towards the west of the Loire Valley, and is a popular base from
which to explore the local sites and the surrounding châteaux
country. Angers is a busy regional centre and university city with
an air of sophistication. Like Tours, Angers was badly damaged
during World War II. Much of it, however, has been lovingly
restored and it remains a pleasant, amiable town with a lively
atmosphere. Top Angers holiday attractions include the intriguing
museum, Musée Jean Lurçat, which is known for its famous tapestry
Le Chant du Monde,and the Cathedral with its beautiful
12th-century nave and famous stained-glass windows, also dating
from the 12th century. However Angers' most prominent attraction is
the Château d'Angers.
