Le Mans - Old Town

In Le Mans, northwest of the Place de la République, on a hill above the Sarthe, is the old town, with many ancient houses. The main street is the Grande Rue, at No. 71 of which is the Maison d'Adam et d'Eve, a handsome Renaissance house of 1525.

Northeast of this is the old-world Rue de la Reine Bérengère, at No. 13 of which (on right) is the Maison de la Reine Bérengère (1440-1515), now occupied by a museum of ethnography and regional history.
