Our visit to the historic city of Le Mans - Our World for You
Why we featured this post
Le Mans offers far more than the famous 24-hour race, and this post gives families a clear route into its older side. Follow the authors through Cité Plantagenêt's cobbled streets, 3rd-century Roman walls and timber-framed houses, with fun spot-it details such as the red and green wayfinding pillars on Grand Rue. It also flags the hanging house on Rue Saint-Pavin-la-Cité, complete with its tiny window teddy, plus the 1528 Maison d'Adam & Eve. Practical arrival notes cover Le Shuttle from Calais in 35 minutes and high-speed trains from Paris in about 1.5 hours.
