Autogare du Mans, Historical bus station and protected monument in Le Mans, France
The concrete building features a large central rotunda covered by a dome constructed with glass bricks and cast concrete elements at its summit.
Constructed in 1932 by the Société des Transports de l'Ouest, this transportation hub marked the modernization of public transit systems in western France.
The Art Deco architectural elements of the station, including geometric patterns and the prominent tower, represent the design trends of 1930s French infrastructure.
Located at 20 Avenue du Général-Leclerc, the former bus station now serves as a parking facility for the adjacent Hotel Concordia.
The interior dome spans 30 square meters and contains diamond-shaped cut glass pieces, creating distinct light patterns throughout the structure.
