Angers
3 things to see
The massive castle with 17 striped towers houses the Apocalypse Tapestry, the largest surviving medieval tapestry in the world, and the city anchors the western Loire Valley wine region. Angers has strong university-town energy that keeps food and lodging prices reasonable compared to the more tourist-heavy Loire cities. Even without paying castle admission, the old town, the cathedral, and the riverside walks are free to enjoy. It sits on the western Loire near Nantes and Tours, making it an easy stop on a budget loop through the region, and spring or autumn skip the summer crowds.
