Angers, Medieval fortress city in Maine-et-Loire, France

Located at the confluence of three rivers - Mayenne, Sarthe, and Loir - Angers extends across hills covered with traditional slate roofs.

The city emerged as a Roman settlement named Juliomagus in 150 AD and later became the capital of the Anjou province until the French Revolution.

The Apocalypse Tapestry, displayed in the Château d'Angers, represents the largest medieval tapestry collection measuring 100 meters in length.

The city features extensive public transportation networks connecting to Paris in 90 minutes through high-speed rail services from Saint-Laud station.

Angers maintains Europe's primary horticultural center, Végépolys, and hosts the Community Plant Variety Office headquarters for botanical research.
