Some of our favourite walks in Le Mans...

There are so many good walks to choose from in Le Mans. Firstly, we recommend a recently established loop around a newly created park on a former industrial wasteland in Le Mans: ‘From the Île aux Planches to Gué de Maulny’. Urban but nonetheless delightful!
Then, for an intriguing change of pace, a stroll along the sunken lanes of Coulaines is essential. Four loops taking from an hour to an hour and a half to complete allow you to discover this pretty corner of the countryside.
Or, for a family tour in a carriage, on bicycles or on foot, head to the Arche de la Nature park a few minutes from Le Mans, where you’ll experience the tranquillity and wonders of nature...

The Sarthe is full of natural, heritage and gastronomic attractions. Discover them at your own pace via the walking routes in and around Le Mans.
