Motorhome area of L'Ecole de Pruillé le Chétif (Sarthe)

Just outside Le Mans, Pruillé-le-Chétif offers a peaceful stopover in the heart of a countryside shaped by hedgerows, meadows and sunken lanes. Take time to explore the village centre and discover its rich heritage, including Saint Peter's Church, founded in the 12th century and enlarged in the 19th century, traditional houses, the old washhouse, the hemp kiln, historic crosses and the remarkable Bollée wind turbine. Nature lovers will particularly enjoy the botanical and nature trail. This family-friendly circular walk of around 3.5 km passes through wooded surroundings and highlights former marl pits, pollarded trees and the characteristic flora of the bocage landscape. A picnic area, benches, dry toilets and a pétanque court are also available nearby. Your stay is also an opportunity to visit Le Mans, just 8 km away. Behind its Roman walls, the Plantagenêt City reveals a remarkable maze of cobbled streets, half-timbered houses and elegant mansions dominated by Saint Julian's Cathedral. During summer evenings, the historic district comes alive with the spectacular Night of the Chimeras light projections. Motorsport enthusiasts can also head to the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans Circuit and the M24 – Museum of Motor Sport. Its immersive exhibition showcases iconic vehicles from endurance racing, Formula 1, rallying and many other motorsport disciplines.
