Camping Lac de Sillé

You don't have to go far to access spectacular Pays de la Loire forest, countryside and beach days from the site, or to drive far to get to famed regional highlights like Fresnay-sur-Sarthe and department capital Le Mans. The red town of Le Mans is a green space too – famed as the second greenest in France, in fact – so seek out some garden time after a stroll around the Old Town and the Roman walls. Among its many green areas are the Jardins Pierre de Ronsard, the Arche de la Nature and the Jardins des Plantes, covering five hectares. Getting into the countryside, trek along to the Alpes Mancelles and the Normandie-Maine Regional Natural Park, a land of moorland and forest, orchards and rapidly flowing rivers: look out for deer, rabbits, hares and wild boar on your scenic travels.
