OK, first of all, I realize that I'm a bit late, but looking for info to go this year. I'm tempted to go the easy way and do everything through these guys:

I used them a few years back to see the Rolex 24 at Daytona, had a great experience.

Any ideas, suggestions, etc? Also, if any of y'all are going, let's meet.

I've never been but I have friends that have and they all suggest going with a tour company.
Please post lots of pics and info for us rookies when you get back.

Good Luck finding a hotel in Le Mans on your own!

JB, depends on what you're looking for. Looks like the package via GP Tours has u staying in Tours, France. So you will be shuttled to a from the circuit. Probably an hour drive each way. Nice option if your wife is going with you. She can explore Tours while your at the race. The other option is staying right at the circuit. Travel Destinations has alot of experience and options - but you would have to book your own flight and travel to the circuit.

Cool. Good options. I'm flying a week earlier to Spain, visit some family there, then drive to France. I'll return from Paris. Will keep y'all posted. Thanks!

I've went to Le Mans 24 hrs a couple years ago and it is an awesome experience. I would also recommend a tour this late in the game if you have never been before.
