Charles de Gaulle airport is very large and very modern. Buildings are all glass and you can see passengers inside on many levels. Know immediately we are in Europe as people look and dress very differently. We practice our French from many years ago and are pleasantly surprised that we are able to order sandwiches from a small shop in "mostly" French.
Have several hours to wait until we catch to TGV to Angers at 9:48 am.
Aboard TGV to Angers, I am able to sleep for a couple hours. Arrive in Angers at 12 noon . We are greeted by French students from Angers University.
Check into our room at Sejours et Affaires hotel apartments near the university.

Barely have time to get situated when we are met by French students to go on at our of the city. My first impression is that this city is really old. We visit the Catholic Cathedral in town which dates from the 1500's. Also visited Chateau D'Angers from 1100's. Unfortunately the rain really picked up during our tour.

We went to eat at local Crepparie restaurant for dinner. Have a 4 course crepe dinner which is delicious, but we are all ready for bed as we have not had a real night's sleep in over 36 hours.
Finally to bed for much needed rest. Happy to be in France but exhausted from a very long days travel.
