Le Mans
It’s a worldwide legend – the 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race captures the imagination of motor-sport fans everywhere, and it’s the first thing that springs to mind at the mention of Le Mans. But the capital of the Sarthe département in France's northwest is a beautifully preserved jewel that more than earns its award of ville d'art et d'histoire. The Cité Plantagenêt, Le Mans' old town named for the royal dynasty that changed the course of history in both France and Britain, will transport you back to the Middle Ages, and the city's imposing ramparts and monuments are even more spectacular when illuminated by dramatic light shows during the summer Nuit des Chimères festival.

Things to Do in Le Mans
Begin your walk around Le Mans by climbing to the hilltop old town and the Cathedral of Saint Julian of Le Mans, a soaring edifice mixing Romanesque and Gothic architecture and supported by elaborate flying buttresses. Step inside to admire the vivid stained-glass windows, some almost 1,000 years-old, and the ceiling fresco depicting 47 musician angels. Outside, leaning up against a wall of the cathedral, you'll find a prehistoric standing stone, or menhir, a pagan fertility symbol. Perhaps the most iconic of Le Mans' attractions is its time-capsule old quarter, the Cité Plantagenêt, a warren of cobbled streets, Renaissance mansions and half-timbered houses bearing evocative names, including the Maison du Pilier Rouge ("house of the red pillars"), where you'll find the Le Mans tourism office. Another houses the Museum of Queen Berengeria, Le Mans, with displays of regional folk art. The Cité Plantagenêt has provided the period setting for countlessfilms, among them "Cyrano de Bergerac" (1990), starring Gérard Depardieu, and is still protected by its Gallo-Roman walls, punctuated by several watchtowers. It's the soft red hue of these walls that gives la ville rouge its other affectionate epithet. Make sure to take in the views across the Sarthe River from the bastion. Among the opulent edifices of the city centre, the Palace of The Counts of Maine, now the city hall, was the seat of the counts of Anjou and Maine, who gave birth to the famous Plantagenet dynasty – Henry II, the future king of England, was born here in 1133. Steps away, the Jean-Claude-Boulard-Carré Plantagenêt Museum illuminates more of the city's history, while at the Tessé Museum, housed in a former mansion, you can admire a major collection of Old Masters, as well as Ancient Egyptian relics, including a life-size replica of Queen Nefertiti's tomb. Le Mans' botanic garden, the Jardin des Plantes is a lovely spot for a break from sightseeing – stroll among the rose gardens, or stretch out on the grass next to the pond, in the shade of towering oaks. The site of a former power station on the Île aux Planches in the Sarthe River has recently been reborn as the Planches Island Park Le Mans, with willow-lined paths, an amphitheatre and quiet corners for sunbathing. Even if you're not among the round 250,000 fans visiting for the big race in June, a visit to the Museum of the 24 Hours of Le Mans is a must, with well over 100 legendary cars from the world's most famous endurance event, as well as photos and memorabilia from around a century of races. You can also take a behind-the-scenes tour of the iconic 24 Hours of Le Mans circuit.
Around Le Mans
Venture outside the city centre and you'll find a host of outdoor activities in Le Mans. A visit to Spaycific'Zoo is one of the best things to do with kids, with lots of rare species and plenty of opportunities for close-up encounters. You can rent a canoe or a bike to explore the forests of the vast Arche de la Nature reserve, as well as petting farm animals and learning about local wildlife with the help of hands-on exhibits. Nearby, the Royal Abbey of L'Epau, founded in the 13th century by Queen Berengaria – wife of Richard the Lionheart and the only English queen never to set foot in the country – displays a recumbent statue of Berengaria and also hosts concerts and exhibitions. Fancy taking to the water? You can don your sailor's cap to explore the Sarthe River aboard an electric boat departing from the Port Le Mans.
Dining in Le Mans
Restaurants in Le Mans cover the spectrum from sleek Michelin-starred establishments serving inventive modern cuisine to cosy bistros and convivial brasseries offering regional specialities and French classics. One of the local delicacies that pops up on lots of menus is Loué poultry, outdoor-reared in the wooded local countryside – it's the main ingredient in marmite Sarthoise, a hearty stew. Rillettes is a famed Le Mans speciality: slow-cooked pork preserved confit-like in fat and enjoyed on toast or a fresh baguette – pick some up for a picnic at farmers' markets like the thrice-weekly one at Place du Jet d'Eau. The Cité Plantagenêt is a good place to start if you're looking for a cosy wine bar in Le Mans – be sure to try the local drop, fruity, golden yellow Jasnières.
