This emblematic site of the city of Angers, founded on a rock by King René in the 15th century, is getting ready to open its doors to the general public, with a few new features for the 2025 season!
Come and (re)discover it by strolling along its many terraces, which offer an exceptional panorama of the Maine River. You can also wander through the cloister and chapel, carved into the heart of the rock.
Then take a gourmet break and enjoy the exceptional view. The Monument Surprenant team offers a simple, local menu, featuring charcuterie and cheese platters, local spreads and waffles, accompanied by beer and non-alcoholic beers from the Penrose brewery.
Practical information:
Visiting the site involves many stairs. It is therefore not easily accessible to people with reduced mobility.
There is no wheelchair access.
