LE HERON CARRÉ
Read moreWe can never thank Vincent Salvat, the former owner of T'es Rock Coco, enough for having had the idea to open in 2015 this magnificent guinguette which was cruelly missing on the banks of the Maine! From April to September, this large bar all in wood and its beautiful terrace offer not only a magnificent view of the left bank of the city but also everything you can dream of in the beautiful days in such a place: a restaurant part at lunchtime (new since summer 2017), based on fresh and local products, snacking in the evening (tapas, homemade fries, plates of cold cuts or cheese...), there is also a vegetarian formula. The most, the numerous events going from concerts, to electro parties and even dances! There is something for all tastes and all ages. This establishment has become a must in Angers as soon as the first rays of sunshine arrive. If you are looking for a heterogeneous place where the atmosphere is bucolic, you are at the right place. Note that on the bar side, each glass is consigned, in order to make everyone responsible. By the way, what do we drink at the Heron? Fruit juices, sodas, but also excellent organic and (or) local wines as well as Belgian, Breton, German beers... Finally, on Sundays, what could be better for the party-goers of the day before than a brunch formula until 3pm!

Read moreWelcome to Cloclo and Phiphi! The "almost" guinguette (especially Sunday) is located at the entrance to the Daguenière, just after Trélazé (the route of Saumur). Close to the Loire, this nice restaurant tells us something: the French would have nostalgia for the time when the accordion was the king of the feast, not the techno music… Because on Sunday midday, the accordionist brings to dance both the old and the younger… Of course, you'll also be style (see Restaurants chapter).
