Introduction

Cité Plangenêt is a historically significant city named after the Plantagenet dynasty of England. Henry II, the founder of the dynasty, was born in the Palace of the Counts of Maine, which is now the city hall. Visitors can admire well-preserved historical landmarks such as 8-meter-high city walls made of stone with special stripe decorations, ancient Roman public baths, and the Saint Julien Cathedral. The old town can be appreciated from the riverbank, showcasing the only well-preserved ancient Roman city walls in Europe. The city is known for its artisans and various shops that collect art. It is also a perfect location for medieval film scenes, and the annual Dreamy Light Night in the summer makes you feel like traveling through time and space.
