World-famous cities in the Loire Region

Two particular cities stand out from the crowd in the Loire Region. Book a holiday rental for a city break in Le Mans, famous for the Le Mans 24 hour-race which takes place here each year in the City Apart'hotel Centre Congres. If motor racing is your thing, then this is the place to be where, if you can’t be here for the race itself, you can visit the circuit along with the museum which tells the story of nearly 100 years of this spectacular motor race or even try the Karting 24 with the children for a bit of family fun. However, the city of Le Mans is not only famous for its race ! Kings were born here, Richard the Lionheart’s wife lived and died here, the Cite Plantagenet is an entire neighbourhood home to original medieval houses, an absolute must during your stay in this fascinating city. During the summer, enjoy the Nuit des Chimeres, a light show which illuminates the old city of Le Mans and don’t forget to visit the stunning cathedral. Nantes is also famous for many reasons including being the birthplace and home for many years of the famous French author Jules Vernes known for his revolutionary science-fiction novels such as Around the World in Eighty Days. Book a holiday rental for a city break in Nantes , and discover the many secrets of this fascinating city along with renowned attractions such as the animatronic creatures that wander around the west of Ile de Nantes. These spectacular mobile structures inspired by Jules Verne’s stories and Leonardo da Vinci’s fanciful gizmos were built by the artist François Delaroziere. A real pleasure for all members of the family !
