The Castle at Angers

The Castle at Angers

The Chateau d'Angers (pronounced, like all French words, without any consonants) is actually a big tourist attraction in France. It was one of the largest and most important French castles of the Middle Ages. It sits strategically on a hilltop in the center of Angers, overlooking the town and the river that runs through it. Impressive gardens fill the former moat as well as the courtyard on top of the castle, and a cathredal is located in the courtyard. A 14th century tapestry of the Book of Revelation's apocalypse, the largest tapestry in the world, is on display inside the cathedral.
