Pont de Verdu

The Pont de Verdun in Angers, the middle bridge of the three in the town center, leads over the Maine into Rue Beaurepaire (houses with beautiful courtyards). At the far end of this street is the Romanesque church of La Trinité, which belonged to Ronceray Abbey (17th C). The abbey now houses the Ecole Nationale des Arts et Métiers (public not admitted). The Pont de la Haute-Chaîne leads by way of Boulevard Ayrault and Avenue M.-Talet to the church of St-Serge, which has a fine Angevin-style choir (13th C). To the southeast is the Jardin des Plantes.
