Crossed by the Maine and located at the heart of France’s first horticultural region, Angers benefits from major advantages in the areas of gardening and the urban landscape.
With more than 40 m2 of green spaces per inhabitant, Angers, a Ville Fleurie, was awarded the Grand Prix National de Fleurissement for its flowers in 2003 and the Prix National de l’Arbre for its trees in 2000.
In Angers, gardens bloom with a floral magnificence, thanks to the horticultural tradition of Anjou. This green fabric is the setting of the everyday lives of the Angevins. It can be enjoyed in parks (Balzac, Saint-Nicolas…), gardens (Jardin du Mail, Jardin des Plantes…), leisure parks, and nature sites.
