The Angers City Guides answer the questions visitors bring to this Loire city of black slate and pale tufa: where to find rillauds and fouées done properly, how to see the Apocalypse Tapestry and still have time for the museums, which wine bars pour serious Anjou and how to reach Saumur and the châteaux without a long drive. Every guide is a short, opinionated list with the reason to go, what to order or look for and a practical tip for each place, and it opens in your browser as soon as you pay.

Three places from the guides
LAIT THYM SEL
Rue Boisnet, near the river
The restaurant Angers talks about most: a calm, spacious room and tasting menus built on local produce that diners compare with starred tables. Lunch is the gentler way in. From the food guide.
Musée Jean-Lurçat et de la tapisserie contemporaine
Boulevard Arago, Doutre side
A 12th-century hospital ward now holds Jean Lurçat’s Le Chant du Monde, ten vast panels that answer the Apocalypse Tapestry, with contemporary textiles and a cloister on the same ticket. From the things to do guide.
Barco Vino
Quai des Carmes, on the Maine
Wine and tapas on a boat tied up on the Maine. Inside is snug in winter; on a clear evening the top deck looks straight at the château walls and the cathedral spires. From the nightlife guide.
Plan your days in Angers
Day one: the château and the tapestry in the morning, then up to the cathedral and the Maison d’Adam, a weekday lunch formule from the food guide and an evening on Rue Saint-Laud or the Maine terraces. Day two: cross into the Doutre for the Jean-Lurçat museum, then take the train to Saumur or drive to Brissac with the day trips guide. For a rainy or slow day, pair the Beaux-Arts and the Galerie David d’Angers with a long lunch, or let the family and budget guides fill an easy afternoon in the Jardin des Plantes.
