Hi everyone, after our lovely lunch that I showed you last week we had a long drive. Fortunately it was fairly straightforward and we arrived in Angers just as it got dark.
We were very impressed with the playground by the stop.
From here we walked to find the castle and stopped for lunch on the way
The food was delicious - here we are eating desserts, as you can see we had water to drink and it is here I am joining Bleubeard and Elizabeth for T stands for Tuesday
The castle gardens looked fabulous
This is the oldest part of the castle and would have been familiar to Eleanor Of Aquitaine.
We continued our visit and then on into the old town...more next week.
Thanks for looking, Chris

Hi Chris, Gorgeous cathedral and I Love this castle-unique shape. thanks for sharing all the photos hugs Kathy
Wonderful panorama of photos!
Oh I can't wait for next week. This is just a wonderful post. I am so envious of all the beautiful places you travel. Thank you so much for sharing with us. Have a lovely day.
Everything about this castle is a work of art, from the stained glass to the floor and the doors...stunning! I can't imagine all the work that must go into those windows!
Happy Tea Day,
Kate
there is so many beautiful sights in Angers, isn't there? And your desserts look delicious too. That castle garden looks lovely, did you get to walk in it? I hope you had a super T day Chris. hugs-Erika
That cathedral is gorgeous. I can see why you wanted to visit the Castle. Because of Eleanor Of Aquitaine, of course. I understand the deep connection you are feeling with her in this castle.
The Cathedral windows are superb. I am in awe of all the photos that showed this lovely area. The garden area looked like a tapestry. Such beauty.
Thanks for sharing your desserts and water with us, also. It was a super lovely T Tuesday post, dear Chris.
Fantastic architecture.
I remember visiting that wonderful castle at Angers an incredible number of years ago — in the days when a “roll of film” had only 36 exposures so we hardly took any pics! Your photos are wonderful and I loved seeing them all.

I enjoyed the virtual tour. I look forward to next week :) Happy T Day!
wow! This cathedral is amazing. I like all the architectural features, the door, walls, and floor all these are with detailed patterns. Mozaic patterns on the windows are wonderful. Thanks for this share. Happy Belated T-Day!
Gorgeous photos!! the Cathedral and castle are both amazing.
