If the "Journées du patrimoine" 2010 were again a success in Angers, it has a lot to do with the lovely weather of that september 19th : 22 ° and a blue sky without a single cloud. People was probably eager to take advantage of what could may be the last weekend of summer. A lot of public and private monuments and places were open to public and in some streets of Angers (Toussaint street and La Doutre district) welcomed, with success, pedestrians in exhibitions of antiquities or flea market.
But that demonstrated, once again, that a living city in sunday is much more pleasant than the deserted city we can see most of the sundays of the year.
Why streets, shops and bars aren't opened that day? Why the city transport system is out of duty meanwhile the people need and would like to go throughout town on sundays like other days of the week? That would bring animation - and money - to the local economy. The crowds circulating in Angers that september 19th demonstrate, once again, that an economic offer (here of services) creates a demand, even on sundays. And consumers have the money to finance it!
