Where is Anjou ?

Here is a little map which can help you to locate the region of Anjou, where Lauren and I are going to get married.
Anjou, the lower part of the Loire Valley in Western France, is the historical region around the city of Angers. This region doesn't administratively exist any more, the department of Maine-et-Loire having effectively replaced it. But it still exists as a duchy and a cultural region. It is situated on the Loire between Nantes and Tours. Anjou used to be a frontier city of the Kingdom of France for all the years during which Brittany was its enemy.
