    To historians & travellers interested in discovering France's rich medieval history Angers is located in the French region which was known as Anjou in the Middle Ages.
    Today Angers is an bustling French city which is home to around 150,000 people in the city itself and roughly 270,000 people in the greater metropolitan area.

    Having a long history of "almost sovereignity", the Angers people can seem cold and very proud of their city. Historically, Angers was a stronghold facing [wiki=75f87fa90004d185432caa1dfb208bbf]Brittany[/wiki], then an political hub by the Plantagenêt era, making it a city of crucial historical decisions and events, regarding France's history. It has to be taken into account when meeting locals, as even people from other large cities around sense this slight mentality difference.

    Mostly a student city, Angers gets quite calm and kind of empty during the summertime (July and August).

    For being a fair-sized town, Angers has a lot to offer in terms of entertainment and night-life.

    There are two cinemas: Les Quatre Cent Coups for movies in their native language with French subtitles, author movies, niche movies, and such (Rue Claveau) ; and Gaumont Multiplexe (St. Serge) for blockbusters. A third cinema opened in the suburb city of Les-Ponts-de-Cé, can be accessed in 10 minutes by car, and is cheaper than the Multiplexe.

    The main pedestrians strip runs along rue St. Laud. There you will find many cafés, such as Bar du Centre, and bars.
    In the summertime, get on the top of Le Quai (a teater and art center along the Maine river) to have a drink on the terrace.

    For runners, the Saint-Nicolas pond is a must-go. This artificial lake offers two running path of 5 and 7,72 kms in a slightly wild forest environment (totally safe) with countless up and downs (making it a difficult track). It's obviously very suitable for a walk. There you can see the slate careers or a War monument.
