The Castle of Angers

The Region of Angers/Anjou is particularly rich in history, geology and culture – farming cultures too! The Loire River Valley offers its many Renaissance castles. Angers has its fortress. But more, there is a history to discover. Centuries of human growth, battles, and times of peace. In addition, the climate is especially comfortable in just about any season. Vegetable and flower farms dot the river valley and the rich soils around this. A great deal of experimentation in plant development has been undertaken in this region and is represented in attractions such as “Terra Botanica”(www.terrabotanica.fr), Camifolia (/www.jardin-camifolia.com) and the Oriental Gardens in Maulevrier (www.parc-oriental.com).
