  Situated on the Sarthe river, Le Mans is about 55 minutes by train southwest of Paris. The city is of great interest from a historical and geographical point of view: the Gallo-Roman walls still stand 1700 years later as a testament to the excellence of Roman engineering. These walls encompass the Vieux Mans along with several houses celebrating the architectural diversity of different historical periods: the Middle-Ages, the Renaissance and the 18th century. Le Mans Cathedral displays a beautiful combination of Roman and Gothic art due to its different periods of construction from the 11th to the 15th century. Numerous cultural activities and events take place year-round (theater, dance and music — including a renowned Jazz festival in May). Le Mans is also famous for the race "Les 24h du Mans" in June of every year. As the ISEP site in France closest to Paris, Le Mans offers students a combination of a charming small French town with easy access to the City of Lights.
