At the confluence of the Sarthe and Huisne rivers, Le Mans is a hill overlooking the river, a 3rd-century Roman wall, medieval enclosures and a cathedral of light. It's also an old town, the Plantagenet city, where timber-framed houses and Renaissance mansions intertwine, as well as districts with a Haussmann soul, parks and gardens in English, French or contemporary styles. It's also the setting for numerous films, and celebrates the art of staging itself with the Nuit des Chimères (Night of Chimeras) in summer. Last but not least, Le Mans is home to the 24 Hours of Le Mans, a car and motorcycle race that has earned the city an international reputation.
