Angers

Angers is a city in western France, about 300 km southwest of Paris. It is the prefecture of the Maine-et-Loire department and was the capital of the province of Anjou until the French Revolution. The inhabitants of both the city and the province are called Angevins or, more rarely, Angeriens. Angers proper covers 42.70 square kilometres and has a population of 157,555 inhabitants, while around 443,900 live in its metropolitan area. The Angers Loire Métropole is made up of 29 communes covering 667 square kilometres with 308,800 inhabitants. Not including the broader metropolitan area, Angers is the third most populous commune in northwestern France after Nantes and Rennes and the 18th most populous commune in France. For centuries, Angers was an important stronghold in northwestern France. It was the cradle of the Plantagenet dynasty and became one of the intellectual centers of Europe during the reign of René of Anjou.
