Backpackering 7 - Day 9

 


Today we returned to Angers for a nights stay and follow the blue line.


First up, La Cathedrale Saint-Maurice, built between the 11th and 13th centuries, still with a stained glass window dating from 1165.


The fortress was built in 1230 with 17 impressive towers


which were cropped in 16th century to accommodate the new invention, canons. 
 

Moving on to pass La Maison d'Adam, an intricately decorated 15th century house. 


Just one of many on its walls.


Then,  La Grand Theatre


in the Place du Ralliement, packed with locals in the evening. 


Hotel de Pince from the Renaissance period.


Passing through foodie streets, still on the Blue  Line,


back up to the La Place R


to be greeted by the happy dinners.


Last, be not least, La Maison Bleue, the facade being decorated in the Art Deco style of the early 20th Century. 



And so ends our evening amble
