Doutre district – Angers
In the city center of Angers, is located the charming district of Doutre, named for its position "off Maine" on the right bank. Formerly known to have been the place of residence of rich Angevins, the district continues to charm everyone, thanks to the ancient timber-framed houses that run along it, the labyrinths of alleyways and architectural structures that remind visitors of the atmosphere of life on a port, yet the sea is not nearby.
Take a tour of the neighborhood
The Cale de la Savatte, the Quai des Carmes, the Quai Robert-Fevre and the Quai Monge, run along the edge of Maine. All types of barges - some with restaurants - boats and gulls create a marine atmosphere in the area. They really give the impression of being at the seaside. Beside this atmosphere "seaside", these boats, we will immediately find the first fruits of life in the city center: on the square La Rochefoucauld-Liancourt. Vehicles of all kinds are parked and every year, carnivals - such as the Saint-Martin fair - and circuses settle there.
From North to South of the neighborhood
We discover two landscapes with opposite architecture. The northern part, seat of the old picturesque and religious buildings, such as the hospital Saint-Jean which dates from the twelfth century and is best known for hosting the Jean-Lurçat museum, the Benedictine convent of Calvary or the Carmel Monastery. And the South, where the buildings are more recent, such as the Théâtre du Quai, inaugurated in 2006. From the roof of the latter, you will have a breathtaking view of Angers. In the middle of these two landscapes, the main shopping street, Rue Beaurepaire invites tourists and other residents to buy souvenirs in its shops and local shops. Do not forget to visit the main historical monuments of the area, the famous half-timbered houses, the church of La Trinité and the Abbey of Ronceray.
