Studyrama Higher Education Fair in Le Mans 2026: Where to Stay

The Studyrama Higher Education and Sixth-Form Fair in Le Mans returns on Saturday 21 November 2026 at the Centre des Expositions, Hall D. Backed by the Nantes education authority and the City of Le Mans, it is the area's flagship guidance event, bringing together more than 800 study programmes that span every level from sixth form to master's degrees. Throughout the day, from 10:00 to 17:00, visitors can speak directly with admissions officers, teaching staff and current students from universities, business schools, engineering schools, technology institutes (IUT), preparatory classes and vocational training centres. The fair also features a university village hosted by Le Mans Université, a guidance area run by the Sarthe information and careers centres (CIO), and a dedicated space for the region's state and private upper secondary schools. A further highlight is the practical support on Parcoursup, the national higher-education admissions platform. Specialists will be on hand to explain the application timetable, how to submit course choices, how to respond to offers and how to give yourself the best chance of securing a place. Representatives from the armed forces and organisations providing advice on student housing and campus life in Le Mans will also attend. Entry is free with prior registration. The venue is easy to reach by bus (routes 5 and 10) and has a paid car park next to the exhibition centre, making it convenient for visitors travelling from outside the city.
