2025 Le Mans Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

Despite the fact that the UK and France are separated by a sea, every time I cross the sea to France, I feel that the weather is much better than the UK😆 This term break we are looking for another French town to explore, this time choosing Le Mans — but we are not going to see Le Mans 24 hours racing. Le Mans is slightly further from the port of Calais and takes 4 hours to get there. Although the distance is a bit far, but when you see the hotel you feel that this long march is well worth it🙃 All the rooms in this hotel are built by the host himself, the appearance of the house is very Phuket villa feeling, the hotel has a heated swimming pool, since we checked in yesterday did not have other guests, so it turns out we have a private swimming pool🤫 Each house can see the vast prairie view, the parking lot next to the own farmhouse, just a newborn duck stumbling very cute. Luckily this time we stayed for a week, it would be a waste to stay here for only one day.

Figures 1-6: Le Mans, a town in northwestern France. Historically known as the "Red City," Le Mans preserves Gallo-Roman architecture from the 3rd century AD. It is an ancient French city with profound historical heritage (Roman ruins, medieval old town, origins of the Plantagenet dynasty) and rich architectural legacy. Le Mans' old quarter (Cité Plantagenêt) is hailed as the "Heart of the Middle Ages," featuring cobblestone streets, well-preserved half-timbered houses, and ancient city walls. P4: Cathédrale Saint-Julien du Mans, a church blending Romanesque and Gothic styles, is one of France's significant religious structures. Figures 7-19: Dinan, France, a medieval hilltop town overlooking the Rance River in northwestern France, with half-timbered houses and slate-gray roofs, exuding timeless charm. Against the backdrop of the rushing Rance River, Dinan's weathered cobblestone paths and rows of timber-framed houses seem to have stepped straight out of the Middle Ages. P11: Basilique Saint Sauveur in Dinan. P12: Standing on the 80-meter-high viewing platform, the breathtaking view over the Rance River is simply awe-inspiring. The town's impeccably preserved 14th-century castle, half-timbered houses, and monuments transport you back to medieval times. P17: The 30-meter-high clock tower at Dinan's old town center holds special historical significance. Legend has it that the town's bell was a gift from Anne of Brittany in 1507 and still chimes melodiously every 15 minutes to remind the townsfolk. The castle is also a must-visit—built in the 14th century, it has been excellently restored and preserved. P18-19: Vieux Pont (Old Bridge) and the new bridge in Dinan, where the quaint bridges and flowing water add to the town's charm. The Old Bridge, dating back to the 15th century, spans the Rance River and is lined with cozy restaurants and cafés. The new bridge, built in 1850, offers boat tours for an even more enchanting experience.

Cute houses and old houses all around.

This is a national railway station in Le Mans, Sarthe, in western France. It is about an hour from Paris. There are three platforms, and the ticket gates are underground. There are convenience stores, bakeries, etc. inside the station. There are several hotels in front of the station, so there are plenty of places to stay. You can get to the city center and the old town on foot, by tram, or by bus. There are ups and downs on the slopes, so it is best to wear comfortable shoes. It takes about 20 minutes by tram or car to reach the Circuit de la Sarthe, famous for the 24-hour race. #Trip to France #Tourism in France

There are only three tables in this insta-worthy milk tea shop in Manhattan. The interior is decorated with floral patterns and artsy illustrations. From here, I recommend the Starry Passion, the Starry Kumquat & Lemon, and the Chocolate Mille Crepe.
