I feel really safe in Angers. I've been there for a few years now and I can say that it is a really good student city, with lots of means of transport, lots of activities to do and friendly people! I'm going out at anytime on any day because I don't worry at all about bad things happening, for now everything is perfect!

Angers is rather a safe city, since I live there I've haven't had any issues, it's a calm city and people are usually kind About the public transportation, I recommend most taking the bus, the tramway is also good to take but I feel a little bit less secured in it
