An inner city more and more anglicized

The inner city of Angers, which will host in a few weeks, an irish tea room in which only english will be spoken, is seeing the Shakespeare language gaining ground. More and more names of shop are in english and the reference to anglophone civilization is now quite frequent.

The bars are called : "Le snooker", "James Joyce", "Jet Lag", "Martin's", "Welcome", "Welsh", "Win's", "Matt Murphy's", "Montana", "Kent", "The Inishmore", "West Indie's cafe", "Donald's Pub" and so. The women clothes stores show the same trend ("Ikks Retail", "Jenny Mode", "La City", and of course "Levis store", "Mary Kimberley", "New Concept", "One Step", "Only Girls", "Blue Box") and, may be, outnumber the bar names. And if the shop is not yet open, the board on the shop front indicates "Coming soon..." (See "The Kooples", in Lenepveu street).

Even the lorries who supply the shop have ads written in english. The Plantagenets history has still marks in Anjou.
