Le Mans

Le Mans (pronounced: [lə mɑ̃]) is a city in France, located on the Sarthe River. Traditionally the capital of the province of Maine, it is now the capital of the Sarthe department and the seat of the Roman Catholic diocese of Le Mans. Le Mans is a part of the Pays de la Loire region.

Its inhabitants are called Manceaux and Mancelles. Since 1923, the city has hosted the internationally famous 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance sports car race.

History

First mentioned by Claudius Ptolemy, the Roman city Vindinium was the capital of the Aulerci, a sub tribe of the Aedui. Le Mans is also known as Civitas Cenomanorum (City of the Cenomani), or Cenomanus. Their city, seized by the Romans in 47 BC, was within the ancient Roman province of Gallia Lugdunensis. A 3rd-century amphitheatre is still visible. The thermae were demolished during the crisis of the third century when workers were mobilized to build the city's defensive walls. The ancient wall around Le Mans is one of the most complete circuits of Gallo-Roman city walls to survive.

    In Place Of Hope

    by: Still Remains

    Farewell.
    Parting is such sweet sorrow.
    It's time to go now and I don't know if there will be tomorrow.
    (spoken)
    It's her time time be the best she'll be forever, when she feels it.
    The pain she couldn't avoid...
    If only she could breathe.
    Let the little child run away.
    Let the little child fly away.
    I wish I could kiss her cheek and tell her that I love her.
    It's not realistic in this life but maybe the other.
    I know these secrets.
    Might you have been my blood relation?
    I will always think of you.
    I can't wait to meet you face to face.
    Face...to...Face...
    She's been waiting for so long, but she'll always just be gone.
    Let the little child run away.
