Interesting fortress, with striking towers and commanding riverside setting. The northern side was under scaffolding this visit (I have previously been when it was possible to see more of the ramparts), so not everything was open. There is not a huge amount inside, but there are stunning views and even for those like me not that interested in such things, the medieval tapestry was stunning. The inside of the central ‘keep’ has interesting displays and is well set up for children with interactive displays. There is plenty of space to run around outside, but most of the external towers and ramparts are off limits, which reduces some of the fun of exploring a castle!

This was a fantastic surprise! Chosen because it looked “medieval” like a castle, turns out this was once ‘that’ castle with moat, drawbridge and towers to the Anjou counts a- very rich property- and home to several French king dynasties- so remodeled several times now has a garden inside the castle walls- also a super cute restaurant on the premises, the enclosure that holds the biggest tapestry I’ve ever seen… the Apocalypse Tapestry, vibrant colors a masterpiece- what more can you ask for? Oh: a modest admission fee! And the old town of Angers where it is located has a very cute older area complete with tourist train ride! Woohoo come and visit!

Awesome castle with beautiful grounds and the amazing Apocalypse tapestry. It is awe-inspiring! 300 m of the depiction of the end of days. Even the children were amazed. Lovely gifts and snacks too. We were especially impressed with the wheelchair access, where possible and Braille display for the blind. They had braille and embossed books in the gift shop as well. There is also a lovely park with a play area and splash zone at the base of the chateau. We managed to park our campervan just across the river in a big parking lot along the river for free. Lots of nearby restaurants and other things to see and do.

Château d'Angers, situated by the Maine River, is a captivating blend of history and aesthetics. The crowning glory is the remarkable Apocalypse Tapestry, an intricate medieval masterpiece that unfolds a dramatic narrative with vibrant colors. The tapestry alone makes the visit worthwhile. Additionally, the castle offers a delightful surprise with its charming garden—a peaceful retreat surrounded by the imposing stone walls. Together, the awe-inspiring tapestry and the serene garden create a harmonious experience, making Château d'Angers a must-visit for those seeking a captivating blend of art and nature.

The chateau part is still under renovation. The garden down there is closed. I guess the main visit is just to see the tapestry which takes roughly no more than 10 minutes. The student card doesn't apply here even if i paid full tuition fee as a foreign student. The reception said because i am older than 26 years old but in the website, it does not specify. The gift shop barely has interesting souvenirs. The place is like desert. If you want to have a view, the outside is ok. No need to enter But you pay 9.50€ to see tapestry :) For me, i would not want to re-visit. Stars is for tapestry.

I'm so thankful I made the time to visit Chateau d'Angers! This medieval fortress is definitely something to be seen while in Angers France. We were able to purchase affordable tickets on site. There is no need to order in advance. The immense tapestry of the apocalypse is absolutely amazing! We were in a bit of a hurry, so we opted out of using the audio guide. I wish we had more time to listen in detail! The views from outside the Chateau are lovely! You can walk the wall easily. It's a great place to take photos too! I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of my visit.
