explanation: Located on the bank of Maine river near the confluence with Loire, Angers was founded by the Celtic tribe Andes. After a marriage of the count of Anjou, Geoffrey V with English queen, Matilda, in 1127, their son Henri II founded Plantagenet dynasty. Though Angers was conquered by French king Philippe II in 1204, it continued to be disputed between English and French until 15th century. Angers is the capital of Amine-et-Loire prefecture with population 151,000. Its main activities are electronics and winery.
