The "Long walk" of China in Angers

Angers already had, for years, numerous chinese restaurants. Since 2000, the city hosts more and more chinese students mainly trough the Centre international d'études françaises of the Université catholique de l'Ouest. And, since 2009, a Confucius institute settled in Angers in order to make the town more familiar with the chinese language and culture. On February 2nd, the Chinese New Year event will parade in down town.
A giant snake made of plastic bottles will animate stretts of down town and especially on Ralliement square on Saturday. The place will display several animations on the Chinese historic myths and environmental stakes (event if China is not the most worried country by ecological issues).
The Angers inhabitants are already used to meet Chinese students who, in the city, are great users of the free bike service, a transport mean still very common in that country. But in Angers, the Chinese community seems to be a world apart which doesn't mix with other categories of inhabitants. But not a single problem has ever been reported. As if a mental "great wall"  had been erected between them and other people.
