Le Mans Hotels

As a result, Le Mans is not only a popular target with domestic race fans but indeed, scores of international fans as well. The city is easily accessible from a number of destinations, either by rail, bus or indeed, car. Paris, for one, is 200 km from Le Mans, with Nantes, Rennes, Tours, Le Havre, Caen and Orléans all a short distance away. Le Mans has more than just fast cars and motorcycles in store of course. Important points of interest in the city include the Musée des Arts et Traditions Populaires des Landes, Cathédrale St-Julien du Mans, L'Abbaye de l'Epau and Arboretum de la Grand Prée. A tour of Old Le Mans, otherwise known as the Cité Plantagenêt, is a must and the city is also a gateway to the UNESCO World Heritage Loire Valley castles between Sully-sur-Loire and Chalonnes-sur-Loire.
