Has anyone traveled to Le Mans from Paris ?
I`m planning on renting a car
Suggest a hotel ? Good source of a map and the track layout. I understand the the course is aways from the village.
Any other info would be great.

Max has been, he recommends bringing a bucket for a toilet ;)

Hey John,

I'm going to LeMans too this year. I only booked my flight and we're camping out there. I don't know anymore details.

The train is pretty inexpensive from Paris to LeMans. I'm currently leaning towards that idea rather than renting a car. Don't know how I'm getting to the track from the main station yet. Might be a shuttle available.

I thought of the train as well. My wife and I wanted to tour the region, so I was thinking of the car. We`re going with another couple so we can split the cost.
Did you get a good airfair? The taxes and fees are a killer. (I like the bucket idea.....not)

Tin,
That's my style of traveling especially in Europe. Just get there take the train and figure the rest out.

Schedule is at the bottom: http://www.bonjourlafrance.com/france-t ... e-mans.htm

I went in 1990.

Top tip : Don't share a bucket (toilet) with your two fat uncles :unimpressed:

I remember nothing else.

I couldn't find any deals, my airfair with taxes and fees was about $1350.

I'll be camping at LeMans from 6/10~6/13. There is a great website for camping and other LeMans items at: http://www.beermountain.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. He has several maps: http://www.beermountain.com/maproom.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

After LeMans, I'll spend a day and a half in Paris, getting around there should be easy because of public transport.

If you have an iTouch/iPhone there is a terrific 1:38:38 free movie download on iTunes called, "Truth in 24" ... sponsored by Audi. Terrific photography ... lots of historic footage and modern behind the scenes footage.

I watched and enjoyed it. Do you really need the device? I thought anybody who downloaded iTunes could watch.

OK ... I just happen to have downloaded it to my iPhone

Loved it too. Yes, you don't need iPhone to watch it, just iTunes.

Thanks for the tip Mako!! Getting that before it's a paid DL!

Downloading it now. Thanks for the heads up, Mako!
