Why go
This route is for visitors who want to read Angers through its buildings and collections without leaving the center. Give Château d'Angers its own generous visit, then step out to Promenade du Bout-du-Monde for a view back over the city. Galerie David d'Angers and the Musée des Beaux-Arts d'Angers sit close together, making a natural art-focused middle to the day. The Collégiale Saint-Martin is an optional quieter stop before the final climb toward Saint-Maurice Cathedral. The museums make this a fairly full day, so shorten one indoor visit if you prefer more time outdoors. Check current entry details for each venue.
