What a difference two hours on the TGV make. The first picture here is from Paris, looking out of the window from the train station Montparnasse. A short while later we were in Le Mans, a city everyone thought too ugly to visit. Really, one should always make one’s own experiences. Because I found Le Mans to be magnificent. Here are a couple of more impressions from Le Mans, and as you can easily peruse yourself, this place is great. Yours, Pollybert
