Angers awakes to the Election Night

The English Language Library in Angers was tuned, as probably American citizens or students living in the city, to the Us presidential election night. On November 6, public was invited to a talk about the American elections. The guest of the libray was the Us consul in Rennes, Robert Tate, who delivered a conference on what is "behind the scenes, the electoral process and the economic issues". 

The following morning, from 9 to 11 am, the Angers public will be invited to  "stop by the library to hear about the results of the elections and treat itself as a full American breakfast! Eggs, bacon, hash browns, pancakes, tea, coffee, orange juice...no need to reserve! 3 euros at the door" announced the library on its website. 

On the eve of the results, hustle and bustle were visible in the Library whose frontside was sprinkeld with stickers of the Democratic Party and the Republican Party as well as the two 
candidates, Bararck Obama and Mitt Romney pictures.

It seems that the American inhabitants of Angers, most of them students, were in favor of the outgoing president who extended scholarships for them (what Mitt Romney is said he would scratch). Some of them were even visibly anxious by what could come out from the ballot. The interest in Angers is more acute for that election given the opening of a deparment of the Saint-Edward's University and the twinning of Angers with the Us city of Austin (Texas) whose mayor is a Democrat.
