The Saint-Pavin district, in Le Mans. Google Maps.
The Saint-Pavin district spreads across the south-west of the city. A former municipality and parish, Saint-Pavin-des-Champs was a faubourg of Le Mans annexed in 1855. The area has a long history, settled from Gallo-Roman times, and was marked in the nineteenth century by industry: Saint-Pavin became a centre of foundries from 1842. The district covers the sub-areas of Carnot, Saint-Pavin and Pâtis Saint-Lazare.
The Pâtis Saint-Lazare area, like neighbouring Saint-Georges, was a working-class faubourg built to house the workers of the factories and mills. Its old winding streets, such as the rue Saint-Pavin and the rue du Cogner, still bear the trace of that gradual growth. The district today mixes refurbished workers' housing, faubourg houses and more recent construction.
Sought after for its working-class character and its proximity to the centre and the Sarthe, the Saint-Pavin district offers a supply mixing faubourg houses and apartments. Its prices per m² sit at around the city average, with an active market for home ownership driven by first-time buyers.
