Members' reviews on NATIONAL DOMAIN OF THE CHÂTEAU D'ANGERS
The ratings and reviews below reflect the subjective opinions of members and not the opinion of The Little Witty.
Es una fortaleza sobre un promontorio rocoso y desde esa altura se domina el río Maine y la parte baja a ambos lados. Desde aquí podemos ver la población de Angers junto al río y una vista de la iglesia de Saint Laud más abajo.
Se empezó a construir en el siglo XIII y fue tomado por lo romanos debido a su punto estrategico. Llama la atención en su construcción los colores de la roca que se utilizó. Cuando lo visitamos, estaba en reconstrucción una de las fachadas y no lo vimos por dentro.
La zona ajardinada está muy cuidada y es visible desde el exterior.
