We were impressed by this timeless creativity.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thanks to two routes, history and fine arts, you can discover the past of the city of Angers and the region, as well as superb works of art. Travel from prehistory to the 20th century to understand the city and its evolution through hundreds of archaeological artifacts. The site's other 3 floors reveal over 300 paintings and sculptures, including an exceptional series of 18th-century paintings. We also recommend a visit to the courtyard for its colorful outdoor art installations.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Find out more in <a

article on where to park in Angers for more details<\/a>. In short, you can try parking right on the streets in the city center. But note that parking is not free and comes at a price. Places are also becoming scarcer.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Choose one of the city's parking lots. 9 underground parking lots criss-cross the city center (Ralliement, Bressigny, Haras, Larrey, Leclerc, Mail, Mitterrand, Moli\u00e8re, R\u00e9publique). Visit the official Angers website <a href=\"https:\/\/www.angers.fr\/vivre-a-angers\/voirie-deplacements\/stationner-en-centre-ville\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">here<\/a> for more info. You can also park for free at the La Rochefoucaud parking lot, which has 1,200 free spaces right on the river. It's a 10-minute walk from the center.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><div class=\"wpcp-wp-lightbox-host wpcp-advanced-image-lightbox-icon-hover\"><a class=\"wpcp-wp-lightbox-image-link\" href=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Vallee-loire\/n-XkSzNF\/Angers\/Ch&#xE2;teau-dAngers\/i-HQLTSVs\/0\/FHwLJxhNwqVppF8cHVfzCwFV6KJspTxF6vSK9QhPJ\/L\/parking%20chateau%20angers-L.jpg\" data-wpcp-wp-lb-image=\"1\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Vallee-loire\/n-XkSzNF\/Angers\/Ch&#xE2;teau-dAngers\/i-HQLTSVs\/0\/FHwLJxhNwqVppF8cHVfzCwFV6KJspTxF6vSK9QhPJ\/L\/parking%20chateau%20angers-L.jpg\" alt=\"Ch&#xE2;teau\"\/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Vallee-loire\/n-XkSzNF\/Angers\/Ch&#xE2;teau-dAngers\/i-HQLTSVs\/0\/FHwLJxhNwqVppF8cHVfzCwFV6KJspTxF6vSK9QhPJ\/L\/parking%20chateau%20angers-L.jpg\" data-fancybox=\"wpcp-wp-wpcp-wp-35\" class=\"wpcp-lightbox-trigger wpcp-advanced-image-lightbox-icon wpcp-position-top-right wpcp-advanced-image-lightbox-icon-hover wpcp-global-lightbox-icon wpcp-lightbox-icon--global wpcp-lb-icon-style-default\" data-wpcp-lb-icon-source=\"global\" aria-label=\"Open image in lightbox\" data-thumb-src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Vallee-loire\/n-XkSzNF\/Angers\/Ch&#xE2;teau-dAngers\/i-HQLTSVs\/0\/FHwLJxhNwqVppF8cHVfzCwFV6KJspTxF6vSK9QhPJ\/L\/parking%20chateau%20angers-L.jpg\" data-wpcp-lb-single=\"1\"><span class=\"wpcp-icon-container\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 20 20\"><path d=\"M17.6585 16.025L14.2437 12.6198C15.1716 11.3338 15.6121 9.7613 15.4871 8.1819C15.362 6.60251 14.6795 5.11847 13.5607 3.99351C12.936 3.36206 12.1916 2.86066 11.3709 2.51845C10.5502 2.17623 9.66952 2 8.77995 2C7.89039 2 7.00969 2.17623 6.18899 2.51845C5.36829 2.86066 4.62395 3.36206 3.99919 3.99351C3.36594 4.61649 2.86312 5.35871 2.51992 6.17708C2.17673 6.99545 2 7.87365 2 8.76068C2 9.64772 2.17673 10.5259 2.51992 11.3443C2.86312 12.1627 3.36594 12.9049 3.99919 13.5279C5.11957 14.6901 6.62279 15.4103 8.23285 15.5562C9.84291 15.7022 11.4517 15.2641 12.7639 14.3224L16.1788 17.7275C16.3849 17.9034 16.6473 18 16.9186 18C17.1899 18 17.4523 17.9034 17.6585 17.7275C18.1138 17.16 18.1138 16.5925 17.6585 16.025ZM5.59278 12.0523C5.16258 11.6298 4.82094 11.1263 4.58774 10.5709C4.35455 10.0156 4.23446 9.41951 4.23446 8.81744C4.23446 8.21536 4.35455 7.6193 4.58774 7.06394C4.82094 6.50859 5.16258 6.00503 5.59278 5.58257C6.01644 5.15359 6.52144 4.81292 7.07838 4.58039C7.63532 4.34786 8.23308 4.22811 8.83687 4.22811C9.44066 4.22811 10.0384 4.34786 10.5954 4.58039C11.1523 4.81292 11.6573 5.15359 12.081 5.58257C12.5112 6.00503 12.8528 6.50859 13.086 7.06394C13.3192 7.6193 13.4393 8.21536 13.4393 8.81744C13.4393 9.41951 13.3192 10.0156 13.086 10.5709C12.8528 11.1263 12.5112 11.6298 12.081 12.0523C11.6573 12.4813 11.1523 12.822 10.5954 13.0545C10.0384 13.287 9.44066 13.4068 8.83687 13.4068C8.23308 13.4068 7.63532 13.287 7.07838 13.0545C6.52144 12.822 6.01644 12.4813 5.59278 12.0523Z\" \/><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/div><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where to eat in Angers<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Angers is teeming with great restaurants!
