| Le Mans 24 Hours, June 15-16, 2019
The Le Mans Chateau Experience Beware! Do not buy your tickets before travelling to our Le Mans chateaux.....previous guests have arrived at our mesmerising chateaux and have not left to see any racing! We have been working with a range of chateaux for many years in the Le Mans area and we can thoroughly recommend the venues, service and welcome without hesitation. A chateau stay is a superb chance to gather guests or friends for a unique house party and perhaps enjoy sensational racing at Le Mans.
Chateau des Arches The Chateau des Arches is one of the closest chateau to the circuit. The chateau is located in Yvre-l'Eveque, just over 4 miles from Le Mans. The restored chateau dates from the 18th century and is surrounded by a large wooded park. The chateau offers authentic 5 guest rooms and all rooms have private bathrooms; they are bright and spacious and combine a modern touch with stylish decoration and antique furniture. The guest rooms are on the second floor and are reached by a grand staircase decorated with a mural on a pastoral theme. There is also a splendid covered terrace, brick bbq, swimming pool and ample parking. A sumptuous breakfast is included. The chateau is not a full service hotel, rather a chambre d'hote and the attention from the owners is second to none. Optional extras may be added as follows:
Chateau de la Motte Henry (The Times Best 20 Chateaux, May 2016) Chateau de la Motte Henry is a spectacular neo-Renaissance Castle with beautiful outbuildings nestled in the Western Loire Valley, a region known for its beauty, tranquility and cuisine.

The local town of Meslay-du-Maine also has an excellent 'Course Hippique' with both traditional and chariot racing and there is also a good golf course nearby. The Times, May 2016: "Follow the chestnut tree-lined drive to this turreted 19th century castle in the western Loire and you will fall under its spell. Set in 29 acres of parkland complete with orchards, a walled rose garden and a spring fed lake, it also offers a pretty outside pool. Inside, there is a wood panelled music room with baby grand piano and marble fireplace, a circular litchen in the tower and for further escapism, a not so historic cinema room. The six enormous bedrooms feature dreamy four poster beds as part of the sumptuous furnishings." Since May 2016, the chateau has been comprehensively refurbished by new owners providing an exclusive and sophisticated stay for the 24 Hours.
