Hotels & Accommodation

Accommodation is often extremely difficult to find in Le Mans. We offer one of the largest selections of central, Le Mans hotels which offer both comfort and maximum convenience. All the hotels offer parking and most guest rooms offer air-conditioning and TVs. The majority of our hotels are close to the tramway with direct access to the circuit at Antares.

Camping

For 2009, we are holding a variety of official campsite places. These campsites and "lay-bys" are inside the circuit and close to the action. All camping and lay-by areas are available from Wednesday before the race until the following Monday. Parking is included for one vehicle, within the camping emplacement (7m x 5m).

Circuit Access

The new Le Mans tramway opened in November 2007 and seemed to make a big difference to the amount of traffic in and around the circuit. The tramway provides a very convenient, inexpensive means to access the circuit at Antares. The majority of our hotels are within walking distance of a tramway stop. Please click the link to access the tramway map. Within our hotel descriptions, we offer our recommendation for the easiest access to the circuit.
