Hier Soir

Rue Bressigny is the happening place in Angers. It is the main street near the Catho and leads directly into town, so it is always full of students. It is packed full of bars and French fast-food joints (i.e. kebabs), we've spent quite a few evenings wandering up and down this road. You won't find classy bars here, but you will find cheap drinks.



I have no idea what this is, but it was delicious. It was Valentine's Day Eve (ha) and so it came with free candy. Yum.

The younger set can usually be found on Rue Bressigny or in the park, where crowds gather to drink en plein air. To find a nicer place, you have to venture down into the centre ville. At night, the narrow streets echo as young revelers make their way between bars and restaurants.



We've definitely established ourselves as the loud Americans, but the French kids have been surprisingly friendly. They listen patiently as we forget to conjugate our verbs and match the gender of our adjectives, and so far no one has criticized our nationality.

Heading back up into town, I took this shot of St. Joseph's church, glowing in the streetlights.
