About LGBTQ+ Angers
France decriminalized same-sex relations in 1791 and legalized marriage equality in 2013. Angers, a historic city in the Loire Valley, has a modest LGBTQ+ scene, with only a handful of dedicated venues, but a well-organized community life.
Dedicated gay bars are few, but the city's central bars and its lively student and cultural life make for an easygoing, welcoming atmosphere.
