A city of 160,000 that most people drive past on the way to somewhere else. That's the point.
This guide covers what daily life in Angers actually feels like — the markets where local chefs shop on Wednesday mornings, the rooftop greenhouse where you buy a plant and stay longer than planned, the hidden convent labyrinth most visitors never find, the cable ferry to an island with herons and apple orchards twenty-five minutes from the centre. Artisan chocolate at a density that shouldn't exist here. A cycling network that makes Paris look like it's still figuring things out. A social fabric that takes time to open and then doesn't close.
Personal picks from someone who has spent months here every year, across all seven Zen to Live pillars. France's greenest city. The most honest guide I've written.
