This incredible Gothic hospital was constructed in the 12th century for Etienne de Marsay, a chief officer of King Henry II. It is the oldest hospital in existence in France and is an outstanding piece of Angevin history. The former orphanage on the same site is now home to the Jean Lurçat museum which houses further tapestries depicting the Apocalypse.
