Moving to Le Mans

Many people move to Le Mans because of the incredible weather, brilliant job opportunities and its relationship with motor sport. The city is probably best known for the two separate racing tracks that are in the nearby area. The Bugatti Circuit is a permanent fixture and is used throughout the year as a racing track, whereas the Circuit de la Sarthe is made up mainly of public roads and is only open on the days surrounding a particular race. Although many shops have to shut because of the race, boutiques and stalls are opened, as the races attract thousands of tourists and customers. If you are planning on moving to Le Mans, in order to experience the motor sport yourself, enjoy the many cultural offerings that Le Mans has at its heart, or simply for work, then you should also think about joining InterNations. Members of our online expat community can help make your relocation to Le Mans easier.
