A whole 24 hours of rigorous, challenging racing, Le Mans is fast, furious and full of action from start to finish. Why not combine one of the world’s most legendary motor racing events with a chance to experience France at its finest – sample the local wines and see the chateaux of the Loire Valley.
Lasting 24 hours, the course is a gruelling test of endurance for both drivers and cars and there are excellent viewing opportunities ensuring you do not miss any of the nail-biting action. All grandstand tickets give you full access to the extensive General Admission area, while the Circuit Village has a wide choice of exhibitions, shops and souvenir stands if you can bear to tear yourself away from the track. With the provincial town of Le Mans just a short shuttle bus ride away, this is sure to be a memorable trip.
Our camping option allows you to stay at the circuit throughout the entire 24-hour race, or you can book one of our hotel packages and see more of Le Mans itself and the surrounding area. Le Mans is a thriving town standing at the confluence of the rivers Huisne and Sarthe, and dominated by its majestic cathedral. Stroll along the narrow alleyways admiring the historic architecture of the mediaeval old town, and soak up the atmosphere in the bars, restaurants and shops, which open from early morning until late at night during the weekend of the race.
Highlights
- Choice of 3 to 7 night self-drive packages
