Motorhome area of Montfort-le-Gesnois (Sarthe)

Montfort-le-Gesnois is a small rural town located only a few kilometers from Le Mans. Admire the Roman bridge (National Heritage Site) overlooking the Huisne river with its seven arches, situated 1,5 kilometers from the campsite. Have a walk along the river and enjoy a green and charming environment. The area is located in the middle of the Sitelles Park, where nature is preserved on 20 hectares with playgrounds, picnic tables and sport equipment. In this very same park is situated the Sittelia aquatic center with different pools, a giant toboggan, a sauna and a hammam… Find also the Racing Kart du Mans with its two tracks. The restaurant right next to the area offers refined cuisine made from fresh, quality, seasonal produce. The restaurant Les Sittelles, by reservation only, is ranked among the 19 best tables in Sarthe. To deepen your discoveries, two hiking trails are advised: one leading you to the Pont-de-Gennes town center following the Huisne banks (2,7 km) and another one taking you to the Montfort-le-Rotrou town center and its castle (1,5 km). Both hikes make a 4 kilometers loop. In the surroundings of the area, visit Tuffé (15 km) and enjoy the 18 hectares lake with its nautical activities (pedalo, swimming, inflatable structures, fishing…). Other villages are also worth visit: Vibraye and its forest (28 km), the « Petite Cité de Caractère » of Montmirail (32 km) and La Ferté-Bernard, nicknamed the Green Venice (27 km).
