Campervan rental in Le Mans

It also has a race circuit that, for most of the year, is a set of public roads with roundabouts and suburban junctions. A campervan can use those roads as a curiosity when nothing is on, and should treat race week as a different city: closures, noise, and fields turned into temporary cities of their own.

Outside that week the town is a hinge between Paris and the Loire. The roads south touch the Loire châteaux; the roads west run toward Angers and the Mayenne. Nothing here has the drama of an Alpine pass or a Corsican ferry. The pleasure is a night in quiet country after a day in a centre best seen on foot.
