Angers
My dear Friends,
I am in angers right now enjoying the students life of this student city!
It is an incredible city for students not too big not too small but you all the time have somehting to do or somewhere to go!
I visited the city a little bit but when you are partying during the night it hard to be very clear during the day.
I am partying a lot with the new erasmus people and the friends of my friends, it is their fifth and last year as students then ..as we can say they just enjoy the last few months!!
Angers is an urban city housing 150,000 people in the city and close to 270,000 for the metropolitan area. As I told you not too big not too small...but with more than 60 000 students. The city traces its roots to early Roman times. It occupies both banks of the Maine, which is spanned by six bridges. The district along the river is famous for its flourishing nurseries and market gardens. It is well known for its fresh produce and cut flowers. Angers is considered an excellent location to learn French because the Angevin accent is said to retain the regal and aristocratic flavor of the royals who holidayed in the Loire Valley for centuries, and is said to be easily understood throughout the francophone world.
Here I am I have to go now one more time.....I am going to have a drink on a little island called l'ile St Aubin it is 10 min far way from the city center....it is so cool just calm and quiet except when the students seize the place!
I am starting to pack for New-Zealand!
I am leaving this week end!!
have fun enjoy the pics
