Throughout the French region of Maine-et-Loire, the area comes alive in July and August with open-air concerts and village festivals. We owe the personal work shown here to photographer Yoann Stoeckel.

Anjou is a historic province in western France that largely corresponds to the modern-day Maine-et-Loire department. The region surrounding the capital, Angers, is world-renowned for its rich cultural heritage, idyllic river landscapes, and first-class wines. Anjou is considered the western gateway to the famous Loire Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
