Young people love this new address, a dozen kilometres north of Le Mans. On the edge of a dense forest, two spaces (jungle and apocalypse) have been set up so that you can evaluate your friends. High nets fill this space, dotted with barricades, fences, behind which, you will understand, you will take a little respite. You'll be a team of full helmet, with a visor, a plastron, a neck protector, gloves and a weapon that spews paint balls. In case of impact, these logs burst! Do not take his best clothes to come here. The most reluctant will take fast to the game, even if out of red, green or yellow, does not put in an advantageous situation. Fighting is only between "armies", coming into groups, it's more fun. Beware! Better book.

In this bowling alley, you'll find the characteristic smell of game rooms. The staff are very helpful. A bar/restaurant area, with a spartan decor for some, sleek for others, in any case "efficient", dominates the multiple, perfectly maintained lanes. You can also be served at track level, simply by pressing the little button where the balls come back and the waiter will come and take your order. The basement is also where you can play billiards in all its variations.

You can enjoy a cup of coffee on the terrace, but the best part is inside. The atmosphere may seem a little heavy and dark, but take a look around you. Here, time seems to stand still. Clocks displaying the world's time zones hang above the bar. Portholes adorn the walls, barrels are placed here and there, and the benches are those of wagons, with luggage racks and suitcases above.

Impeccable service: orders fly off the shelves thanks to an attentive and dynamic team.

There are day bars and night bars, and this one is a day bar, which doesn't mean it's boring or lacks atmosphere! It's only when you're sitting on the terrace, under the blinds, that you realize just how sheltered this café is from the noise of the cars. Set back from the road and lined with old trees, it's a pleasant place to be. Inside, a beautiful vaulted room reminds us that this place was once used as a stable. The welcome is warm and efficient. Enjoy a relaxing stopover at Café du Square, next to the cathedral and a 2-minute walk from downtown stores and restaurants. Small restaurant.

Design and contemporary decor, without compromising on the fundamentals of a neighborhood bistro.

Stuffed animals and figurines are everywhere. They'll bring you a glass of sweets to nibble on (jelly beans, licorice, marshmallows). Nice, isn't it? There are beers, shooters, glasses of wine, planteur and ti-punch... different cocktails. A great place, open every night!

A must-see in the city center, in beautiful old buildings divided into several areas, which change atmosphere throughout the day and especially in the evening. The later it gets, the busier it gets. Orders flow in at the bar at a frenetic pace, people talk loudly, smoke outside with a drink in hand, and pranksters sometimes throw washing powder into the fountain opposite the bar. Café Crème even hosts a DJ on Friday and Saturday nights! Atmosphere guaranteed. It's a popular place to meet up and enjoy an evening with friends. What's more, sausages are served at all hours! A place to visit, especially if you're drawn to the short counter stories. And the coffee is good!

Despite the renovation work carried out in 2013, this bistro, which is well known to all Manceaux locals, doesn't seem to have suffered too much from the noise of the Place des Jacobins. It has to be said that this bar is attractive, if only for its strategic location on the steps of the cathedral, but also for its interior, whose walls are completely covered with old photos of the 24 Heures (two from the 1960s!), clichés of mythical stars, reproductions of postcards, humorous posters that can keep customers busy for a long time... In short, a charming place right in the center of town, with a large terrace, where you can really enjoy a quiet, relaxing moment. You can enjoy oysters, cold meats, omelettes...
