Things to see and do Le Mans

This park is a leisure area that will satisfy the entire family; on 16,5 ha, you will find: picnic area, games, multisport. Ducks walking along the river, and it's just a stone's throw from the South station's business district! Three picnic tables are available. It's the ideal place for jogging or cycling. Moreover, you can go across the river and continue the walk by going to the island to the Planches. Dark corners are the walk, if you need to make breaks.

It is now a park, but will remain the Glonnières Plain for a long time in the heads of people! Well known for the district holidays and other events (e. g. inter-cultural), there is also the Rembrandt Avenue or the Glonnières Boulevard. After twenty months of work, it has become a fully landscaped park, where there are various facilities, such as a synthetic football field and a basketball field, in addition to the many relaxation spaces. A green corner that brings a real vitalization of the neighborhood.

Located on the Louis-Blanc quay and renovated fairly recently, this square will give you the desire to hum When you walk on the water, of course. If it is only one would like to see revivre, which no longer exist for a long time. Finally, we do not have to complain, we have the magical decor of the Gallo-Roman enclosure and one can sit quietly for chatting or admire the landscape, between the flowers of flowers and plants, or even watch Couler, peacefully.

This Arena-shaped park, created in 2002, is located at the location of the former Chanzy military barracks (built at the end of the 117 th century), which housed the 104 ^th and ^th Infantry Regiment. There are four entrances to access. A variety of plantations blend with lush vegetation. A large waterfall echoes a multitude of alternative water jets that are trapped by children in summer. A beautiful rose garden attracts hikers and small, artificial hills. A playground and a covered place for artistic exhibitions are also present… all the different atmospheres within this contemporary park make it a place of unique charm.

In 2002, Old Mans became La Cité Plantagenet. The house of the Red Pillar, the House of the Green Pillar, the House of the two Friends, the Maison Saint-Paul, the Maison de l'Annunciation, the House of the Drapier, the House suspended… Many are those houses which marked the path of the walk in the heart of the city. Exploring the pavés of the old town allows you to discover a unique heritage of incomparable charm: winding streets, cobbled stairs, typical houses, special hotels, small squares, churches… The Gallo-Roman enclosure, perfectly preserved, stretches over 1300 metres, dotted with eleven towers. It is made of colored stones forming geometric drawings. The cathedral of the cathedral is the best preserved from the ancient Roman Empire after those of Rome and Byzantium.

Located near the city centre and South station, this small urban park is the most recent of the city since its construction dates back to 2008. It owes its name to the fact that it connects the two banks of the Sarthe, between the two arms of that river. An amphitheatre and a playground have been set up. A large grassland, below, serves as a spillway in the event of flooding. The construction project would not have been created without the determination of the members of the association of the Island aux Planches. The land belonged to EDF, and their wish was to cede it to promoters for a real estate project (two columns, at the entrance to the park, evoke EDF and SFM).

Built more than 1,700 years ago, when Le Mans was still called Vindinum, it is a unique monument of its kind in France. To admire it, it is advisable to sit on the banks of Sarthe, which gives a magnificent overview. We can see the towers that still remain: eleven are visible in the thirties that existed initially. Today, every summer night, the Chimeras Night gives fantastic colors, by light projection, to this magical place of the old town: to observe from the wharves of Sarthe.
