Public services Anjou

Spacious and bright, the Town Hall, which will be refurbished in 2019, is an essential location for all administrative procedures. The Mairies de Quartier and Mairies de Relais, on the other hand, deal with civil status certificates, identity documents, electoral registrations, citizens' census, etc. Applications and renewals for passports and identity cards must be made several months in advance. Certain procedures can also be carried out via the city's website (computers are available for users in the lobby) and on the Vivre à Angers application (Android and iOS). Birth registration and recognition procedures can be carried out at the CHU administrative building.

Sometimes we move away from the river to regain altitude. The charming village of Saint-Saturnin houses on its hills a charming little church which surrounds itself with old mansions with a bearing of its beauty. Obviously, the name of the commune is not without mentioning some more distant travel, but in Saturnin one can still read saturnalia, and it is true that here we find a quality vineyard and one of the best hostels in the region. As they are mischievous, the inhabitants of this small village have perfectly managed to marry the two pleasures, the two trips thanks to the installation in the middle of a vineyard field of an astronomical observatory. It is here, where the night is pure, that two telescopes are turned towards the sky, for the delight of Anjou connoisseurs and amateurs who regularly follow the Night of Stars. The success of this operation is such that it is often necessary to improvise to park near the observatory, but it will be reported that one can attend observations all year round or even participate in initiation courses. Just contact:

Mazé is more than just a village in Anjou. Mazé is the cradle of the fort of Fort and Emile Joulain, a rural storyteller and poet, two pillars of Jordanian culture.

Little train to browse the site without getting tired. Time stopped in this small hamlet in the northern part of the department, richly reconstituted by a passionate collector to make us relive the beginning of the th century. Gathered around the chapel, the grocery store, the hairdresser, the shoemaker, the coffee, the old trades, the yuan, the sabotier, the marshal-farrier and later, the school evokes the life of a village of the past; Voitures cars and tractors in the bright colours, washing machines tell us about the time when washing clothes do not drum… Here, the billboards are in enamel sheet, the zinc counter, the caramels to two under… in all, more than 10 000 objects plunge us into the heart of nostalgia. Ideal for families, many picnic areas are planted on this natural park of 80 acres of hiking trails. You can stroll while admiring our friends, between deer, llamas, birds, and others on day parole.

In the village you can admire the Lavoir and the fountain Saint-Hélier, which is perfectly restored. There is one of the two wooden doors, to discover a paved floor that crosses the uncovered basin. According to the legend, the saint would have raised the fountain's fountain with the fountain.

You will not really know Anjou if you do not enter one of the 312 strong ball companies in the department. The aim of this game, the cousin of the bowls, is to throw the ball very gently on a curved track. This, not entirely round, boule ball made of metal and ringed metal weighs about 1,5 kg. It will vary from right to left to get closer, if the player is clever, from the jack (called here the master, or the small). This sport, which is friendly but just as serious as its Provençal cousin, is played in slippers so that it does not damage the track. This is of course close to a glass, but beware of the losers, the traditional pledge will make the whole assembly laugh!
