Le Mans is located in the Sarthe region of France, about 80 kilometres northwest of Tours and about midway between Normandy and the Loire Valley, making it a convenient tourist stopover. The city supposedly derives its name from an ancient Gallic tribe, Cenomani. It was first mentioned by Ptolemy under the name of Vindinium. St. Julien evangelized it in the 3rd century. From the 6th century, it became the seat of the Counts of Maine. In 1129 Geoffrey of Anjou, Count of Maine and Anjou and founder of the Plantagenet dynasty, married Matilda, daughter of King Henry I of England, and their son, the future Henry II was born. It was not until the 13th century that Le Mans came under the French crown. The English invaded it again during the Hundred Years' War. Royalists and Republicans fought over it during the French Revolution. It was the headquarters of Germany's 7th Army during World War II and was heavily bombed by the Allies in preparation for the invasion of Normandy.
