What’s NOT included:
- Meals: Each apartment includes a well-equipped kitchen. In addition, Angers has countless restaurants with all kinds of price ranges. What meals will cost can range from what you spend on groceries at home (or a little less!) to the ‘sky’s-the-limit’ if you choose the many fine dining options.
- Ground Transportation: Plan on paying for trainfare to and from your arriving airport (likely around €100) and the excellent local transportation, should you choose it. Prices vary depending on usage, class, and when and how you purchase your tickets. We can advise.
- Airfare: One reason we chose Angers is that it is an easy trip (non-stop TGV) from the CDG airport outside Paris, by far the largest international airport in France. Prices vary. We have a partnership with an experienced travel agent should you want help choosing and purchasing your flight.
