With a population of just 159,022, Angers is a quaint French city that can feel worlds away from the hustle and bustle of Paris. However, the bureaucracy here is a persistent headache - the city has 75 successive mayors on record, each with their own priorities. And while the climate is moderate, with mild winters and warm summers, the frequent rainfall means an umbrella is a must-have accessory. Still, Angers' rich history, cultural offerings, and status as a leading horticultural hub make it an appealing option for those seeking a quieter, more provincial French experience.
