Chateau du Plessis-Mace, Le Plessis-Mace

For lovers of heritage the building of this château reveals, perhaps more than others, the happy marriage between a fortress and royal residence. In the mid-15th century, Louis de Beaumont undertook the reconstruction of the building, which was partially destroyed after the Hundred Years' War. The thick walls are pierced by windows, while turrets and staircases break the monotony of the façades. The charm of the house is expressed in the beautiful carved balconies and wooden tribune of the chapel. The Gothic château is one of the most beautiful in the region. It is the location of the annual Festival d'Anjou.
