Staying overnight at the Chateau, or indeed in any of the other remarkably nice hotels (even the fairly anonymous Best Western has its moments) would in no way be a hardship, but I suspect would rather delay my arrival at Le Mans on the Thursday.

Froggy's well worth a visit, nice ambience and as it's the bistro for La Grennouillere has Alexandre Gauthier imprimatur on it, and thus the food is remarkably good - the bone marrow starter is a complete revelation...

One of the compromises of coming to Le Mans is putting Mrs Isynge up in a nice hotel on the way down and back, and dining accordingly. It tends to put the price of the trip up, but I don't see any grounds for complaint at all!

Agreed, even if I haven't been there since 1985. L'Auberge des Matfeux is on the left as you leave Arnage on the main road south.
