Castle grounds
Old meets new

The Chateau d'Angers houses the "apocalypse tapestries." I guess someone a long time ago just made a big tapestry following the story in Revelations. Its very long. and Very cool.
These ones have nice tails.
These ones are falling over.
Just a little detail. Some little french bug or something; :)
this was a little random. Some artist made this at the bottom of one of the towers of the castle. Apparently during one of the wars this castle served as a prison. At one point in this space, there were 60 men  being held. It is not a big area. So the artist made this memorial for all the men who died here.

And theres the highlights of our castle tour! Feel free to come see it anytime you'd like! :)
