The City
Your lasting impression of Angers will be of the chateau , an impressive, sturdy fortress by the river, its moat now filled with striking formal flower arrangements and softened by trees. From here, it's just a fifteen-minute stroll east to the cathedral and its entourage of several smaller churches and museums. Across the pont Verdun from the chateau is the suburb of La Doutre , where the Hopital St-Jean houses the modern response to the castle's Apocalypse tapestry, Le Chant du Monde . Further out in the suburbs are a rash of interesting museums, easily reached by bus, exalting everything from early aeroplanes to Cointreau and communication methods.
