Château d'Angers
A kilometre-long wall, studded with 17 circular towers,
surrounds this vast medieval fortress. Visitors can tour Château
d'Angers, including the courtyard, prison, ramparts, windmill
tower, 15th century chapel, and royal apartments. The overriding
reason however for coming here is to see the 328-foot (100m)
Tapestry of the Apocalypse. Woven between 1375 and 1378 for Duke
Réné of Anjou, it takes as its text St John's vision of the
Apocalypse, as described in the Book of Revelation. Guided tours
provide insight into its architecture and fascinating history.
