  • 5/5 Le Mans Parkour 7. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The historic heart of the city. It is a must-see in the city of Le Mans. The Saint Julien cathedral and the wall are compulsory points of passage for people visiting the city. The old city is an ideal place to practice parkour with the association Le Mans Parkour 72. (Original) Le cœur historique de la ville. C'est un lieu incontournable de la ville du Mans. La cathédrale Saint Julien et la muraille sont des points de passage obligatoire pour les personnes qui visitent la ville. La vielle cité est un lieu idéal pour pratiquer le parkour avec l'association Le Mans Parkour 72.

  • 4/5 Alastair M. 2 years ago on Google
    Everyone associates Le Mans with the motor race and completely misses the 20 hectares of medieval buildings, cobbled streets, roman walls, the huge cathedral and nightly son et lumiere projections that make up the Cite Plantagenet. It's a revelation. Come and see what you are missing! Tip: park easily and for free in the car parks on the river bank.

    Brilliant place with loads of history, car park just by the church pay at meter ok for 1hr . 30 mins about 4 euro but jumps up to 30 euro after that. Spent one and half hours strolling around the amazing little streets and had a coffee.

  • 5/5 Scott D. 3 years ago on Google
    Spent the morning walking around the old town, has lots of lovely old building and small little alley ways etc. The cathedral is massive and probably the biggest ive been too, its well worth a visit to get the true scale of the building. There are a number of cafes and restaurants to eat at or get a drink on a hot day, the view from the top of the old town is just breath taking

  • 5/5 Frederic G. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Extraordinary medieval city to do absolutely, on the other hand, you have to dig well in all the small alleys 😁 To eat I recommend the 7-course hostel, you eat very well there, small price is very generous (Original) Cité médiévale extraordinaire à faire absolument il faut par contre bien fouiller dans toutes les petites ruelles😁 Pour manger je vous conseille l'auberge des 7 plats on y mange très bien petit prix est très copieux

  • 4/5 Michael S. 1 year ago on Google
    Extremely nice medieval city, would benefit from a more lively atmosphere, but to be fair, some events are sometimes organised which bring a happy crowd together. Keep it up!

  • 5/5 Helen K. 8 months ago on Google
    A must see, walk the cobbled streets up to the cathedral and shop in the modern city centre. Discover for yourself on foot or by tourist train. Hop on and off a tram.

  • 5/5 Andrew L. 11 months ago on Google

  • 5/5 Tim M. 10 months ago on Google
    Beautiful historic city and surprisingly LARGE!

  • 3/5 Lota S. 7 months ago on Google
    It's a nice French village surrounded by chateaus and vine fields. Inside you can find shops selling overpriced bottles of local wine and restaurants with unfriendly staff.

  • 5/5 Gijs N. 8 months ago on Google
    An unexpectedly beautiful ancient city and cathedral. The rest of Le Mans is less interesting but Cité Plantagenêt is worth a visit.

  • 4/5 Pauline H. 7 months ago on Google
    Fab houses from early 1600? Such history ..

  • 5/5 LCJ-94 /. 7 months ago on Google
    I didn't expect much, so it was a huge positive surprise!! A really nice, beautiful old town. Loved it!

  • 5/5 Barbara G. 8 months ago on Google
    Erwartungen wurden völlig übertroffen. Eine schnuckelige, schöne Altstadt. Dann noch die Kathedrale angrenzend. Sehr schöner Stop. Aber vielleicht auch länger nächstes Mal. Ein bisschen Harry Potter Winkelgasse Flair. Sicher am Abend noch schöner, Sonntag mittags waren fast alle Bars U Restaurants geschlossen.

  • 5/5 Martin W. 5 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Loris C. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It was very pretty. You can choose to walk slowly to fully appreciate the many architectural details, or on the contrary to speed up when you want to get to your destination faster. I recommend. (Original) C'était très joli. On peut choisir d'y marcher lentement pour apprécier à leur juste valeur les nombreux détails d'architecture, ou au contraire d'accélérer le pas lorsque l'on souhaite arriver plus vite à destination. Je recommande.
