Discover Linas

Anyone looking for a hotel in Linas can shape their stay around different interests: local history, motorsport and a landscape shaped by agriculture each offer a distinct focus. National roads RN20 and N104 meet at a junction in Linas. This geographical reference helps put the town in context. For further planning, the main consideration is which themes you want to shape your stay.

Landscape between the Sallemouille and Orge

The Sallemouille Valley is relatively wide and broadens where it meets the Orge. There, it forms a favored corridor for agriculture. East of Linas is also a natural area shaped by agriculture that belongs to the Orge Valley. The two descriptions offer different perspectives on the landscape: on the one hand, the Sallemouille Valley and its expansion at the confluence; on the other, the natural area to the east in the Orge Valley. If you also want to understand Linas through its landscape, these are concrete geographical features—with no particular excursion required.

Local history and museum

Église Saint-Merry offers a clearly dated connection to the town’s history: its restoration work lasted more than 20 years and was completed in 2023. The lengthy restoration itself is therefore one of the church’s notable features. The Musée de l’école d’autrefois offers another way to explore the past. In Linas, a classroom dating from 1910 was set up as a museum of the former school. The starting point here is a specific room and the subject of schooling. The museum offers interactive presentations for groups and individuals on request. If you are interested, plan your visit in accordance with the requirement to request it.

Motorsport and events

The Autodrome de Linas-Montlhéry is located in the Sainte-Eutrope district of Linas and was built in 1924. The focus here is on motorsport and vintage cars: events on these themes take place every year. The autodrome regularly welcomes many visitors in a family-friendly, sporting atmosphere. Individual events vary, and access may differ depending on the program. If a particular event is central to your trip, check its date and the relevant visitor requirements in advance. This lets you factor the motorsport focus into your travel plans without treating different events as though they were the same.

Play areas and media library

Located in central Linas, Parc de la Châtaigneraie has play areas for children. This is a specific point of reference if you are looking for a local play area when planning your visit. Médiathèque Les Muses allows everyone free access to and use of books, DVDs and magazines on site, without registration. Everyone can use books, DVDs and magazines on site free of charge and without registration. Opening arrangements may change; check the current rules before your visit.

Linas offers concrete and distinct points of interest, from the autodrome built in 1924 to the classroom dating from 1910 and the Sallemouille Valley. Choose your hotel to suit the purpose of your trip, and check the relevant conditions for events or offerings available on request.
