Designed from the start for the general public, it is a resource center where people come to understand the region's major urban planning and architecture projects. Very quickly, the ecological transition became the guiding thread: today it addresses the sustainable city in the broad sense, including urban planning and architecture of course, but also mobility, waste management, carbon footprint, renewable energy, and nature in the city.\n\nOpen Tuesday to Saturday, the venue presents three to five temporary exhibitions a year, each lasting one to four months: at least one major public exhibition a year, along with shorter, more specialized exhibitions for enthusiasts and professionals. Each exhibition comes with an education program (guided tours, workshops, talks, lectures, urban walks in the field), supplemented through the year by shows, lectures, and workshops. Everything is free, usually by registration, with many offerings for families.\n\nEvery spring, La Fabrique organizes the Mois de la nature en ville: a month of workshops, talks, visits, and walks, many of them outside the building, often with the city's gardeners, landscapers, and horticulturists. The 2026 edition focused on the city as food provider, with meetings with farmers from the metropolitan area and farm visits.\n\nLa Fabrique also hosts a large number of school classes (exhibitions, workshops, eco-delegates from middle and high schools, the CLEAC program of the City of Le Mans, heritage classes from the Pilier Rouge upstairs), exchange sessions for urban professionals (the Sarthe architects' association meets there every month), and events with partners such as Le Mans Université.

Très vite, la transition écologique est devenue le fil rouge : on y parle aujourd'hui de ville durable au sens large, urbanisme et architecture bien sûr, mais aussi mobilités, gestion des déchets, empreinte carbone, énergies renouvelables et nature en ville.\n\nOuvert du mardi au samedi, le lieu présente trois à cinq expositions temporaires par an, d'un à quatre mois chacune : au moins une grande exposition grand public par an, et des expositions plus courtes, plus pointues, pour les initiés et les professionnels. Chaque exposition s'accompagne d'un programme de médiation (visites commentées, ateliers, rencontres, conférences, balades urbaines sur le terrain), complété au fil de l'année par des spectacles, des conférences et des ateliers. Tout est gratuit, le plus souvent sur inscription, avec de nombreuses propositions pour les familles.\n\nChaque printemps, La Fabrique organise le Mois de la nature en ville : un mois d'ateliers, de rencontres, de visites et de balades, beaucoup hors les murs, souvent avec les jardiniers, paysagistes et horticulteurs de la Ville. L'édition 2026 portait sur la ville nourricière, avec des rencontres d'agriculteurs de la métropole et des visites de fermes.\n\nLa Fabrique accueille aussi énormément de classes (expositions, ateliers, éco-délégués des collèges et lycées, dispositif CLEAC de la Ville du Mans, classes patrimoine du Pilier rouge à l'étage), des temps d'échange pour les professionnels de l'aménagement (l'association des architectes de la Sarthe s'y réunit chaque mois) et des événements de partenaires comme Le Mans Université.

King Louis IX (Saint Louis) granted her the land in 1228. The founding charter of this Cistercian monastery for men is dated 1229, and an agreement settling a dispute with the Hôtel-Dieu de Coëffort was reached in 1230, the year twelve monks from Cîteaux, led by their abbot Jean, settled at l'Épau. Berengaria died in 1230, barely a year after the foundation, and was buried in the abbey she had founded. The church was consecrated by the bishop of Le Mans in 1234. Her recumbent effigy, now visible in the abbey church, remains one of the most moving witnesses to this history.\n\nThe monks drained the surrounding marshes and diverted the course of the Huisne to make room for construction, which progressed from south to north: church, sacristy, chapter house, dormitory and refectory, with Gothic embellishments added around 1260 to 1320. During the Hundred Years' War, the abbey was damaged in the 1360s (a fire in 1365 is traditionally cited, although recent historical work has nuanced this). In 1367, King Charles V authorized funding for the reconstruction using part of the ransom paid for the release of John II the Good. From 1479, King Louis XI imposed the commendam by appointing Thomas des Capitaines as the first commendatory abbot, breaking with the traditional monastic election and sparking conflicts, sometimes violent, such as under Abbot Macé Petiot in the 1490s.\n\nDuring the Revolution, an inventory was drawn up on August 28, 1790, and the monks left in October of that year. The abbey, now national property, was sold to an industrialist who turned it into a laundry and then a farm, keeping it in agricultural use for more than a century and a half. On June 18, 1959, the Sarthe departmental council bought back the abbey for eleven million francs and launched a major restoration respectful of its 13th-century architecture. The Department has held its assemblies there since the 1970s, and in 1982, at the initiative of its president Michel d'Aillières, created the Festival de l'Épau, today one of France's major classical music events (42nd edition in May 2026). In March 2017, the site was officially renamed “Abbaye Royale de l'Épau” to highlight its royal character, brought to light by recent historical research.

The following year the city agreed, and Bishop Charles de Beaumanoir de Lavardin gave his blessing. Built in just seven months, the complex proved fragile: by the middle of the 17th century the buildings were at risk of collapse, a fire damaged them in 1662, and the earthquake of October 6, 1711 further weakened the foundations. Reconstruction began in 1713–1714, and around 1730 Mother Superior Louise-Angélique de Balincourt entrusted Anne-Victoire Pillon with building the new church, consecrated on March 22, 1737.\n\nDuring the Revolution, the nuns were expelled (1792) and the buildings became a prison, then a courthouse, before worship resumed there in 1804. In 1858, the building was handed over by the Sarthe department to the City of Le Mans, and it was restored between 1861 and 1865 by architect Denis Darcy. The chapel was listed as a historic monument on March 6, 1906, a listing supplemented by additional protection in 1987.",{"bus":205,"tram":206,"hours":207,"parking":208,"acces_sources":56},"Lines M, 6, 23, 25 — République stop, 30 m · wheelchair-accessible stop","T1 — République stop, 30 m · wheelchair-accessible stop","Open every day 10 AM–12 PM and 3–5 PM, depending on the availability of the volunteers who staff the welcome desk.","Parking 60 m away: Parking de la République (paid, 830 spaces, underground)","Régence-style chapel on Place de la République, notable for its cross plan and dominant dome.","On Place de la République, in the heart of the Vieux Mans, the Chapel of the Visitation surprises with the richness of its interior, in contrast with its understated facade.

Designed by the architecture firm Cardete Huet, known for its aeronautical projects, the building was inaugurated on January 29, 2011, at a Le Mans FC victory over AC Ajaccio (3-0), in the presence of Prime Minister François Fillon and 24,375 spectators.\n\nKnown as the MMArena for ten years after its title sponsor, the insurer Mutuelles du Mans Assurances (MMA), the first naming-rights contract of its kind in France, the stadium changed its name on July 27, 2022, when that contract expired. The City, the owner of the venue, renamed it in tribute to Marie Marvingt (1875–1963), an aviator and pioneering athlete nicknamed “the bride of danger” for her aeronautical feats. It became the first French stadium of more than 20,000 seats to bear a woman's name.\n\nThe stadium replaced the Léon-Bollée stadium as Le Mans FC's home and has marked the history of the club and the city with several major events: a stage start of the Tour de France in 2011, rugby and American football matches, and a record crowd of 24,425 spectators on December 18, 2019, for a League Cup match against Paris Saint-Germain.",{"tram":241,"parking":242,"acces_sources":56},"T1 — Guetteloup stop, 440 m · wheelchair-accessible stop","Parking right in front: bus parking (surface lot)","Multipurpose sports complex, known for hosting a wide range of sporting events.","Stade Marie-Marvingt, home of Le Mans FC, is a multipurpose stadium with 25,064 seats, expandable to about 40,000 for concerts or rugby matches.
