Mindful meoweler tips

Discover the iconic Circuit des 24 Heures

Visit the famous race track where the Le Mans 24-hour race takes place every year. Soak up the atmosphere and see if you're as fast as the race cars!

Explore the old town or 'Cité Plantagenêt'

Wander through this charming medieval quarter of Le Mans - a maze of cobbled streets and timbered houses. Get lost in the history and admire the views from the fortified walls.

Taste the local specialty - Râble de Lièvre à la Royale

This traditional dish of jugged hare is a true delicacy of the region. Don't be put off by the name - it's tender and full of flavour. Pair it with a glass of local wine for the full experience.

Visit the Saint-Julien Cathedral

This impressive gothic cathedral is a must-see. Marvel at the elaborate stained glass windows, impressive architecture and the peaceful gardens that surround it.
