Most notably, Angers has a rich heritage of tapestry that was left to the city by the Dukes of Anjou. The Catholic University of the West was founded in 1875 and is a member of the French Language Universities World Association. With 10,000 students registered, Angers is the second-largest university in France and the top university for preparing students for the French National Degrees. As a result, C.I.D.E.F. is one of the 5 best schools in the nation for teaching the language to foreigners. The university buildings, used by both the foreign and the French students, are surrounded by a park and located in the city, only a 10 minute walk from the train station.
Angers is certainly a city of hospitality.
