Even Paris is less than three hours away from Le Mans and often combined in a French vacation. Further north, the coastline around Caen and Le Havre is especially attractive, while to the north-east, La Madeleine and its famous Utah Beach are well worth the journey, being close to the Cotentin Peninsula in the Normandy region. When journeying to this area from Le Mans, if possible, drive through the town of the Manche Département, where the Sainte Mère Église church is particularly famous, and features a dummy paratrouper and parachute hanging from the church spire.
