VENUE
Angers, the capital of the historic province of Anjou, is considered one of
the most beautiful cities in France, with its old streets, museums, gardens,
gastronomic restaurants, art festivals. Foremost among its many notable
structures is the magnificent twin-spiraled Cathedral of Saint Maurice
(12th-13th century) and the massive Castle of Angers (early 13th century),
with its moat and soaring towers. Today the castle of Angers houses a
tapestry museum that includes the famous 140 meters long Apocalypse series.
The town has seen passing through it some of the greatest figures in the
history of France: the Plantagenêts, King René, the writer François
Rabelais, the poet Joachim du Bellay, as well as the composer Clément
Janequin and the surgeon Ambroise Paré. Strategically located in the "Val de
Loire", recently recognised by UNESCO as a world heritage for humanity, the
site of the most beautiful French castles, near the Paris region and the
western part of France, ANGERS is also at the heart of a knowledge-intensive
region, offering a wide range of education centers and successful research
institutes, and attracting many successful IT enterprises.
The high-speed train (TGV) can easily reach Paris in only 1 1/2 hours.
