309, avenue Georges Durand
(open Mon to Fri : 8h30 a 21h30, Sat : 8h30 a 21h00)
Directions to Carrefour
From Maison Blanche side of the track. Follow the road up towards the main entrance (track on right hand side). At lights outside main entrance, go straight ahead going under the dual carriageway. About 50 yds after bridge turn first right into Avenue du Panorama. Continue to end and turn left at T junction. Follow road up and Carrefour and the Centre Commercial Sud is on the righthand side.
From the Houx Annexe side. Head towards Tetre Rouge corner. Just before you go under the bridge where the track joins the N138 (Mulsanne Straight), turn right up the slip road (this is just past the entrance to the Tetre rouge viewing area). At the top (N138) turn left and follow road up and Carrefour and the Centre Commercial Sud is on the right. This way is not available during track times so to keep it easy use the Maison Blance route.
If any of the above routes are a problem, you really should ask someone else to go who's not as thick as a whale omelette.

OK, after 5 years Stu has asked me to demote this thread. The best place for up-to-date info is, of course, the magnificent CA Guide. Check around for links, message me if you can't find one.
