Geometry in Angers

Adam’s House

I expect not one word of sympathy from British readers when I say that yesterday in Angers was very cold, very wet and very windy. My camera got creaky from the damp, and we didn’t walk around as much as planned. But we had a good day. We ‘did’ the castle and will report back later. I ‘did’ the David d’Angers Gallery, and will report back later. And here are geometric views from the streets, including geometric chocolate which, trust me, you can’t afford.

I definitely need to include this: a building whose canopy had a circular hole built into its design, to allow the pre-existing tree to continue to flourish, as it always had.

  2. well you did have a good day out exploring, loving the geometric shapes. Hope you have spoilt yourself and taken out a mortgage to bring back some chocolate

  4. Building that hole into the concrete would have been an interesting exercise, but not too hard I guess. Such a refreshing difference from a patch next to my old flat where a stand of fifty year old trees was felled in one day to make place for a new building.

  5. Looks like a wonderful city. Added to my list!
    And you deserve top marks for today’s geometry for that chocolate. I’m assuming it tastes as good as it looks.
    enjoy the rest of your journey home.

  6. Well done for braving the weather, tremendously British of you…..Adam’s house is a geometric marvel, and at that price the coffret séduction would have to be an orgiastic wonder!

  13. Cold or not, Angers looks lovely. And without knowing what you would post, I have similar squares to your first shot. I guess they really liked their half-timbered style all over Europe in the late middle ages.
