Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- Emily JRennes, France16 contributionsWe visited yesterday with my parents in their 60s and our children aged 6,4 and 2. We had a brilliant day and there really is so much to see and do. I would definitely recommend buying the two day tickets as we didn’t get to do everything we wanted to. It’s clean and well thought out. There’s an app you can get on arrival which helps you around the park and provides translation too. The only problem was that we didn’t get to do some of the rides due to waiting times being an hour long which was a shame. But despite this, there were so many other things to do.Written 15 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Geoff MBrisbane, Australia178 contributionsThis attraction is a must-see when visiting. The level of history recorded on the tours is intense. Anything to learn about the people of the time? How history worked out for the good and the bad. Well worth saying take the extra time to stay-a-while.Written 26 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Bernie HEnnis, Ireland181 contributionsAn impressive collection of sculptures, beautifully displayed ... well worth the visit. David d'Angers was obviously very prolific as this is just a sample of his work.

- Francoise-S-11bUnited Kingdom125 contributionsLurcat is a well-know designer of tapestries. The work shown in this museum is his last masterpiece. It is huge and unique ... A Must SEE if visiting Angers. The space itself, where this work is shown, is spectacular. I wish I had had more time to look at all the panels. I intend to read about this work and learn more about it. I also hope to come back to Angers and see it again.Written 5 December 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Kittybiscuit70Melbourne, Australia180 contributionsI bought the 24 hour pass for Angers and this was included. Some of the art I liked (landscapes and the Flemish art and some of it I didn’t like as much. The building is lovely. Wish my French verb tenses were better as I can read some French but not everything. The history of Angers exhibition was still interesting despite not being able to read it allWritten 16 October 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Wesley CTucson, AZ9,878 contributionsReputedly the oldest house in Angers, the Maison d'Adam dates to 1491. It is the most famous of the 40 or so timber-framed houses still in place near the Cathedral in Angers city centre. It is most known for its wooden carvings displayed all over the house's exterior -- some of which are a little risque. The carvings can be seen anytime from the street. The interior of the shop is an artisan gallery selling unique local arts and crafts.Written 28 August 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Sarah11 contributionsThe Apocolype tapestry is a must see if you are in or near Angers. The craftsmanship is just stunning, and the imagery is fascinating. An audio guide is definitely recommended; you can pause the commentary to give you longer to study the individual panels.Written 23 August 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Brown_SamanthaKennewick, WA1,665 contributionsWe really enjoyed both the exterior and interior of this impressive cathedral. It is actually a Roman Catholic church built between the 11th and 16th centuries. It is known for its mixture of Romanesque and Gothic architecture, with lots of beautiful stained glass work. The alter is quite unique as well. Marble with gold, very ornate.
It is very close to the Chateau Angers, so we combined the visit to this area. The many steps lead right to the Maine River. It has a nice promenade (Jean Turc)
Very enjoyable area.Written 10 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I took advantage of the audio tours which was free. The audiotool was a great help in leading me around and informing me of what went on here. I learned a lot.Written 16 August 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Linda G5 contributionsLittle train goes from across the road and will show you the sights of the town, and is well worth the 7 Euros it costs and saves walking, especially when it is hot.Written 16 August 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Slow_food_for_meMaui35 contributionsLe Musée d'Ardoise is fascinating. This area of France was rich in slate (ardoise) - so much so that there was once was a law that roofs had to be made of slate. This museum shows you how workers/craftsmen used to change raw slabs of the stone into finished shingles and other items, using coarse tools. They also have a showroom of many different articles made of slate and information about the quarrying that occurred in the area.
I visited twice because I enjoyed it so much the first time around. Granted, I have a background in geology, so that aspect was of interest. But if you have any interest in the history of the region, ancient craftsmanship, and a live display of how it was done, then I recommend this place highly.
I visited a few years ago, but checked the website to be sure it's still available for both the museum and the demonstration. It's 7 euros for an adult for the museum and the demonstration. 4 euros for just the museum. Children are 2 euros. But there are discounts. I received a discount as a teacher - as is true for many museums throughout France. (though it is not currently listed as a discount on their website)Written 15 July 2014This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Francoise-S-11bUnited Kingdom125 contributionsBoth the Maine and the Loire are vast water ways. They are shallow so they are often dry in the summer. The lake is impressive and the setting is lovely.Written 5 December 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
