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).

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":196,"tram":197,"hours":198,"parking":199,"acces_sources":49},"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":232,"parking":233,"acces_sources":49},"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.
