Presentation of the city
Angers was an intellectual centre in the 1400s and a lively university city today, Angers – the historical seat of the Plantagenet dynasty and the dukes of Anjou – makes an engaging western gateway to the Loire Valley. The mostly pedestrianised old town supports a thriving cafe culture, thanks in part to the dynamic presence of 38,000 students, as well as some excellent places to eat. The city is famous for two sets of breathtaking tapestries: the 14th-century Tenture de l’Apocalypse in the city’s medieval château, and the 20th-century Chant du Monde at the Jean Lurçat museum.
For the past 36 years Pisa has been twinned with the ancient French city of Angers, in the Loire Valley of Western France.
The success of our twinning relationship has been built on an annual exchange of Ambassadors which role is to maintain and develop twinning links between individuals and local organisations in Pisa and Angers. These links can have an economic, educational, cultural, sports or leisure focus.
Actual mayor : Christophe Béchu
