The quiet Angers at fast-forward speed

"Let us turn to the Angevine Hour" are two curious short videos recently introduced on the Angers city website. The two movies describe in fast-forward speed the pace of a city mostly considered as a quiet (and sometimes, a little bit lazy "person") on early morning and at lunch-time. The two short pieces, accompanied by a mind-blowing music were directed by Angers town hall. Both are inspired by the atmosphere of the city when "she" is taking an autumnal aspect. 

"Good morning Angers", the first video shots mainly two illustrative places of the city : the maine River viewed from the Bout du monde walkway. The river remains a kind of vital arteria. As the sun is rising, animation around the river appears : a bakery opening its frontside, the cars traffic starting to accelerate. And the Maine itself gets rid of veils of fog like a lady who would leave a four poster bade opening thin curtains. The second emblematic place, the Ralliement square is the stage of the daily set-up of terraces preparing to welcome customers.

"Angers lunch time" is the following sequence and it starts where the previous one has ended, on Ralliement square. After the increase of pedestrians and bikers, the camera goes in the Toussaint library where it's so nice to read close to the Fine-Arts Museum garden. Then the video stages the trolley which, at the fast-forward speed, slips and squeezes throughout down town. After a little walk at an open air market which whet inhabitants appetite, it's time for a quick but tempting lunch. 

Others episodes should be waited by Angers lovers because nice moments in Angers daily life remain to be staged.
