Le Portail Bleu

Nestled in the heart of the historic centre of Angers, just a stone's throw from the château, Saint-Maurice cathedral and the famous Maison d'Adam, this bright holiday rental welcomes you to the 1st floor, in an authentic setting. You'll arrive via a charming cobbled lane: push open the famous blue gate and discover, in a peaceful little courtyard, this flat located right next to the owners' house.

The 25 m² flat comprises a sleeping area with a 140x190 cm double bed, a convivial lounge/dining area and an open-plan kitchen equipped for all your cooking needs: fridge, electric hob, combined microwave, French press coffee maker, kettle, toaster... only the dishwasher has chosen not to be installed, but washing up together can sometimes be a good moment of complicity. The bathroom has a shower, washbasin and WC, and for added convenience, a private washing machine is available on the ground floor.

There's also a fan, hairdryer, television and free Wi-Fi connection (perfect for planning your visits... or your next series). The all-inclusive package makes life easier: bed linen and towels provided, beds made on arrival, cleaning and utilities included. For parking, the pay car park in Place de la Cathédrale is nearby, and free parking is available around 1 km away.

Ideally located just 10 minutes' walk from the train station and a stone's throw from Place du Ralliement, this urban gîte is the perfect base from which to explore Angers, with its heritage, restaurants and gentle pace. Just 1h30 from Paris by train and 1h from Nantes by car, let yourself be seduced by a city where the art of living is no legend. And to extend the experience, don't miss the green walk in the Terra Botanica park, the verdant panoramas of Ile Saint-Aubin, the strolls along the River Maine or the vineyards of Anjou-Saumur, renowned for their characterful wines.
