Perched at the top of the beautiful mont\u00e9e Saint-Maurice, <a href=\"https:\/\/loirelovers.fr\/en\/visit-cathedrale-saint-maurice-cathedral-angers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Angers Cathedral<\/a> awaits you. From up there, you can admire the river and its silver reflections that divide the city of Angers in 2, as well as the beauty of the cathedral! We were seduced by its architecture and the treasures it contains.<\/p>\n\n<p>Typical of the Anjou Gothic style, the building is emblematic of the Anjou architectural style. Look up and admire the stone vaults overhanging the nave. We also marveled at the superb stained-glass windows and Baroque high altar. In 2026, the main fa\u00e7ade will be embellished with 3 huge portals designed by Japanese architect Kengo Kuma. Expect a bold blend of contemporary and historic!<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Vallee-loire\/n-XkSzNF\/Angers\/Cath&#xE9;drale-Saint-Maurice\/i-sGXc8ZC\/0\/M2zLBgWhmQWwX9V5CdvvR7zc7RwWgrzH6jTtTrNNx\/L\/angers-cathedralesaintmaurice-facade-1-L.jpg\" alt=\"Saint-Maurice Cathedral\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Day 1 - 3pm-4pm: Discover the Galerie David d'Angers<\/h3>\n\n<p>Right next to the cathedral is the Galerie David d'Angers.

In <a href=\"https:\/\/loirelovers.fr\/en\/visit-gallery-david-angers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the magnificent gallery<\/a> dedicated to him, we admired works by this great 19th-century sculptor. A true immersion in the artist's work.<\/p>\n\n<p>In this architectural gem, a former 13th-century abbey church, we also discovered the plaster casts of monumental sculptures exhibited in Angers and other major French cities. A large skylight in the ceiling lets the light reveal the magnificence of the showroom and the sculptures by David d'Angers. You'll love the beauty of the architecture and the artwork!<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Vallee-loire\/n-XkSzNF\/Angers\/Galerie-David\/i-Jgj866N\/0\/KvrGkmpptWg5sQs2Zh73sZGNbQjsXjj74ptp92GMg\/L\/galerie-david-angers-de&#x301;tails-05-L.jpg\" alt=\"Galerie David d'Angers\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Day 1 - 4pm-5:30pm: Stroll through the historic city center<\/h3>\n\n<p>Wind your way through the historic streets of the center to appreciate the architecture and street art.
