Anjou Attractions

The Château de Brissac was built in the 17th century and is one of the tallest in France. Its 150 rooms are elegantly furnished.

Evron (pop. 6,700) is noted for its chapel of Notre-Dame-de-l'Epine (12th C), with 13th C wall paintings and Aubusson tapestries. The nave and tower of the church of Notre-Dame date from the 11th C, the rest of the structure from the 18th.

This apparent 19th C. Renaissance house is actually much older than its outward appearance would suggest. Small details betray its earlier origins as a Renaissance chateau.

Built in the latter half of the 18th C., this chateau casts a majestic profile of its Louis XVI facade. Inside, the original decorations and furnishings have been kept surprisingly intact.
