Exchange in Angers, France. Spring 2021

In the spring of 2021, when the Covid restrictions in France were at their peak, with curfew at 7 pm and no travel zone outside of 10km radius from your place of stay. I wanted to travel and live out the pandemic at a different place than Norway. I wanted to study in France, learn the language, experience the culture and confirm the preconceptions I had about the country. Which I certainly did.  My choice fell on the historic city of Angers, with it's beautiful riversides of La Maine, close to the merge of La Loire. The medieval city flashes of it’s striking castle and churches next to the modern river walks. Angers holds large and various thematic parks that define the experience of walking down the cobblestone streets of this one of a kind city. I was told that Angers offers rich cultural scene, which I sadly didn’t get the chance to experience due to the Covid restrictions. The little taste I got made me want to come back and check it out when it is in it's full bloom. Prior
