RV rental Le Mans, PDL: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

Once you rent an RV in Le Mans, you'll need to find somewhere to set up camp for your stay. The good news is that there are plenty of campgrounds to choose from in and around the city. One option worth considering is Camping Neuville, found roughly 15 minutes to the north of the city. Offering large, level pitches in a mix of sunny and shaded spots, this campground boasts sites with electricity and running water. The village of Neuville-sur-Sarthe is also a short walk away. Another option worth a look is Camping Le Pont Romain, which is found to the city's east. There are 70 sites here, and the heated swimming pool and playground are sure to keep kids entertained. If you're traveling with your dog, you'll be pleased to learn that leashed pets are welcome. There are plenty of other campgrounds to choose from in the area, including several on-circuit campgrounds during the annual 24-hour car race, so compare your options before deciding on the best place to park your rental motorhome in Le Mans.

If you're spending a few days in Le Mans, you'll no doubt want to check out the iconic Circuit des 24 Heures, which lies to the south of the city. This prestigious motor race was first held here in 1923, testing the endurance and expertise of some of the world's best drivers around a challenging circuit. The annual 24-hour race is obviously the highlight of the events calendar in Le Mans, but there are several other racing events (including the Le Mans Classic) held here each year that are well worth checking out. While you're in the neighborhood, you'll also want to steer your rental camper from Le Mans towards the 24 Hours of Le Mans Museum. Home to more than 100 stunning vehicles, the museum leads you through the storied history of this iconic motor race. From Ferrari and Porsche to Ford and Audi, the cars and exhibits here trace the history of the race from its early origins and will help you understand why it's come to be recognized as the world's most famous endurance race. Back in Le Mans itself, the first stop on your city itinerary will probably be the Cité Plantagenêt. This beautifully preserved district of medieval houses was constructed between the 11th and 15th centuries, and the first ever Plantagenêt king of England was actually born in Le Mans in the 12th century. Wander the streets here to get a close-up glimpse of beautiful timber-framed houses — it really does feel like you're stepping back in time. Another must-visit in your rental motorhome in Le Mans is Cathedrale de Saint-Julien de Mans (Le Mans Cathedral). This beautiful cathedral is recognized as one of the best showcases of Gothic-Roman architecture to be found anywhere in France. Construction first started here in the 11th century, with many of the most stunning features — including the famous stained glass window of the Ascension — dating from the 12th century. As you can see, there's a whole lot to see and do when you spend a few days exploring Le Mans. And with Rennes and a host of other beautiful cities and towns within easy reach, you'll find plenty more to enjoy once you leave town. Whether you're a car racing enthusiast or not, there are plenty of great reasons to rent a camper in Le Mans.
