It's worth thinking that within 90 minutes of Le Mans you've got a lot of France at your fingertips - be adventurous, think your way to what might be fun, and play with Google Maps (other services are also available) and you'll have a lot of fun.
Enjoy.

Certainly agree it was beautiful, and I would recommend it, though in a rainstorm... dress suitably.
Echo a lot of the others suggestions, I rather enjoyed the zoo at La Fleche a few years back, though not for everyone.
