Angers Chateau Photos

Angers Chateau is an ancient site on a rocky promontory above the River Maine, a branch of the Loire. The Chateau (13thC), which was the seat of the Plantagenet dynasty, is easily recognizable because of its many towers constructed with alternating layers of black & white stone. The Chateau houses the famous Apocalypse tapestry.
