There is a buzzing exhilaration about exploring Angers, a bright modernity underpinned by a unique and fascinating heritage. This lively city of noteworthy architecture, rainbow-coloured trams and more than 150,000 souls is highly regarded as urban friendly, full of fun, lively with festivals and street theatre – such as the Anjou Festival, the second biggest outdoor theatre event in France – and, with more than 1,500 acres of parks and green spaces, worthy of its accolade as one of the greenest cities in France.
