Steeped in history, Angers is both the administrative centre of the Maine-et-Loire department and a flourishing cultural hub. The city lies approximately 300 km southwest of Paris and is home to over 154,000 inhabitants. Situated at the confluence of the Mayenne, Sarthe, and Loir rivers, Angers boasts a vibrant horticultural sector, earning its reputation as Europe's leading horticultural competitiveness cluster.

The city's medieval charm can still be experienced today, with the imposing château of the Plantagenêts dominating the skyline, and the famed Apocalypse Tapestry housed within. Furthermore, Angers is the gateway to the Loire Valley's World Heritage Site, as well as being adjacent to the Loire-Anjou-Touraine Regional Natural Park.

Signs of Angers' storied past can be observed in the ancient streets and structures crowning the promontory where the castle now stands, which were once part of the city's elaborate defence system. Throughout the centuries, the city underwent numerous political changes, experiencing significant developments under the renowned Anjou dynasty.

When to visit Angers

The idyllic climate of Angers, with its moderate year-round rainfall and oceanic influences, entices visitors during all seasons. However, the most popular times to explore the city are between March and August, when Angers basks in warm, mild weather. During these months, you can partake in a plethora of outdoor and cultural activities, allowing you to experience the full splendour of this French gem.

Tourism in Angers reaches its peak in July, June, and August, so be prepared for larger crowds and busier attractions. However, if you prefer a quieter atmosphere, consider visiting during the slower winter months (December to February) or November. Fall (September to November) also presents a delightful opportunity to take in the city's crisp, cool air and witness its breathtaking foliage.
