Le Mans

Le Mans occupies a strategic position at the confluence of the Sarthe and Huisne rivers, surrounded by ancient Gallo-Roman walls spanning 1500 meters.

The city served as the capital of the counts of Maine from the 6th century until the 13th century when it became part of the French crown.

The Saint-Julien Cathedral combines Romanesque and Gothic architectural elements with a 64-meter tower and 13th-century stained glass windows decorating its walls.

The central train station connects to Paris in 54 minutes through TGV high-speed rail service, with regular departures throughout the day.

Since 1923, the Circuit de la Sarthe hosts the 24 Hours of Le Mans race, drawing over 250,000 spectators annually to this motorsport competition.
