Angers

The statements and opinions on this page are solely those of its authors and do not necessarily represent the official position of CouchSurfing International.

Angers is a city in France, on the Maine river, an affluent of the Loire. The city has 150 000 inhabitants and offers a very mild and quiet setting to its visitors. Things to see in Angers include the medieval castle, some museums (Musée des beaux-arts, Galérie David d'Angers, Jean Lurçat,...), the enjoyable pedestrian "centre ville", and the surroundings (beautiful landscapes, vineyards, etc.). The Angers CS group boasts 50 members of which the majority are very active. You will most likely have no trouble having your questions answered. For travelers who are tired of making the same old trip (Paris-Provence), Angers is a good place to stop on the way to the Atlantic coast.

Meetings

For the moment, no regular meeting is organized in Angers. The CS group is used to meeting randomly, so you have to check the group page to learn about the forthcoming meetings. A sub-group named "agenda culturel" also provides information about cultural events programmed in the city and the nearby area. Once a member of the Angers group posts a message in this agenda, you will probably be able to meet him / her at the point of interest.

Tips

When making a CS search about Angers don't forget to ask for a search within 15 or 20 miles around the city because a lot of CS are located in several villages around Angers (but often well connected to the city)
