Serviced Apartments in Le Mans

Le Mans is of course best known for being the location of the famous Le Mans 24 hour sports car race. It is during this event in June that the city becomes busiest and apartment rentals in Le Mans get booked out many months in advance. This is still an interesting and attractive city to visit for non-motoring enthusiasts also, with plenty of history and many French and Roman sights to visit.

Le Mans is a city of 150,000 inhabitants (known as Manceaux and Mancelles) about 130 miles south-west of Paris. The Romans made the city one of their dominions over 2000 years ago and constructed considerable city walls. These walls are actually some of the most complete examples in France and are worth a visit to get an idea of the formidable Roman influence on the city. Le Mans holiday apartments are fantastic for fans of Roman history with plenty of other Roman sights to see also.

The Old Town has been very well preserved over the centuries and is the location of an old Roman baths as well as some sizeable remnants of old Roman wall. Interestingly, every July and August the city puts on an evening light show which documents the history of Le Mans. If you have booked your Le Mans holiday rental during these months, you should certainly not miss out on this famous annual attraction.

Also, like many French cities, Le Mans is home to numerous beautiful parks of various sizes; the two most famous of which are the Arboretum de la Grand Prée and Jardin des Plantes du Mans. The former of these two parks is only open on certain days but the latter is open all year round with no admission fee and is a beautiful example of city greenery. For a quiet afternoon away from your Le Mans self-catered apartment or serviced accommodation, take a stroll around the eight hectares of rose gardens, Tilia trees and ponds.

As mentioned previously, by far the city’s most famous attraction is the 24 hours of Le Mans car race. Hundreds of thousands of visitors flock to the city every year in June, filling up the Le Mans serviced residences and holiday lettings to make the most of this spectacle. The race has been held since 1923 making it the oldest such race in the world and is held on the Circuit de la Sarthe just outside of the city itself. Best to stay away during June if motor racing is not your thing!
