The ch teau is worth seeing for the Apocalypse Tapestry alone - it's wonderfully strange, beautifully presented and unlike anything else you're likely to encounter. I'd take a little time to read up on the panels beforehand; it makes the whole experi...

For an easy arrival-night stay, the Privilege Double Room gives you a comfortable full bed right by the station area. It's the sort of practical, polished base I'd choose when I want to step off the train and be settled quickly.

The cathedral's Gothic details and stained glass are genuinely beautiful, but what stayed with me was the peaceful feeling inside. Restoration has brought out all those intricate details, and the views over Angers make it feel especially worth linger...

The Small Double Room is a neat choice for a solo traveller or a couple who'd rather spend their time exploring than lounging indoors. With a full bed and a central Angers setting, it has the feel of a simple, well-placed city base.

The Superior Twin Room, with two separate beds, is a particularly handy setup for friends travelling together. It gives each person their own sleeping space while keeping you close to the centre for an uncomplicated city break.

La Maison Bleue is a small Art Deco pleasure, covered in wonderfully vivid mosaics that make it impossible to walk past without looking twice. It's a quick stop, but the craftsmanship gives it real wow factor.

This is the stay I'd pick for a group or family wanting room to spread out: the two-bedroom apartment has two queen beds and a proper apartment feel. Just remember that the apartments are on the second, third and fourth floors without a lift, so pack...

The Jardin des plantes is my kind of escape when the city starts feeling busy - calm, beautifully cared for and full of an impressive variety of trees and plants. Even the ducks seem completely unbothered, which tells you a lot about the relaxed atmo...

The Superior Double Room comes with a king bed, making it an especially appealing choice when you want a more restful, comfortable night after wandering around Angers. I'd save this one for a proper couple's getaway rather than a quick overnight stop...

Le jardin du Mail is lovely for a gentle morning walk or an evening wander, with plenty of benches and a large playground for children. It feels like a peaceful little oasis right in the middle of the city - easy to enjoy without making a whole excur...
