WELCOME to our Le Mans Classic site - We are the experts in Le Mans, creating Le Mans tours for over 15 years. For travel and tickets, please call us now!

ALL OUR HOTELS ARE IN LE MANS – some are actually within walking distance of the circuit. We call ourselves “on site” because that is exactly what we deliver - no coach transfers, no long drives - accommodation where it should be. We offer such wonderfully located hotels as the Green 7, Kyriad Mulsanne, Campanile Arnage and Etap Centre.

All our hotels have been chosen to be within walking distance of the superb Le Mans tramway system or to be within walking distance of the circuit entrance. The tramway takes you to Antares, where you would alight for the circuit. Tramway Map

For 2012, we are holding a large allocation of OFFICIAL ACO CAMPSITES including Maison Blanche. These campsites and "lay-bys" are inside the circuit and close to the action.If you require your own private VIP camping for a group, please contact reservations.

We also specialise in CHATEAUX accommodation – we offer a totally authentic chateau experience together with gala dinners or even helicopter transfers.

THE CLASSIC WEEKEND

The Classic takes place every other year and is a superb throw back to one of the most legendary races in the world. It is the biggest European assembly of historic cars - historic cars have universal appeal and there's no finer sight than a full grid of cars and drivers lining up, ears of corn style, to be first off on the formation lap.

396 cars whose common feature is to have taken part in the Le Mans 24 Hours between 1923 and 1979, will be divided into 6 grids according to their period. In keeping with tradition, the start will be at 16:00 on Saturday afternoon and the chequered flag will be hung out at 16:00 on Sunday.

The entry list is mouth watering: an Aston Martin LM 1931, a Ferrari 250 GT Bedinetta 1960, Ford GT 40's from the mid 1960's and the infamous Porsche 917 from the early 1970's.

LE MANS RESTAURANTS

Before the race on the Friday - or after the race on the Sunday night - good dining can be very difficult to find. If you are looking for an elegant way to finish your Le Mans experience, look no further than our Auberge, which is ideally located in Arnage, close to our hotels and the circuit.

Since 1962, the family Souffront have been serving superb gourmet cuisine from their restaurant which offers a beautiful parkland view. The Auberge is one of the oldest restaurants around Le Mans. The gourmet menu consists of two starters, a main course, cheese plate and dessert. For each course, there is a choice of two or three dishes.
