Best day to travel to Le Mans

[Barry]

suchlike Gendarmerie haunts.

Had 3 close calls with the Gendarmes and their hair dryers on the way back to Boulogne on the autoroutes last bank holiday Sunday.
I suspect that there will be a lot of mobile traps on the new motorway LM week.

Tuesday overnight, gives you time to set up camp, and then see Wednesday qualifying.
Back Monday, so you can drink Sunday.

Totally agree with you on this Barry.  I've always done out Tuesday evening, back Monday evening.  Although toying with the idea of going earlier next year.

Traditionally, my lot have always gone early Thursday morning, aiming to arrive sometime before the race, depending on whatever adventures befall us  We usually sometime Thursday evening, but the one year we had a boring run down, it was mid afternoon 

Personally, I would now like to get there earlier, possibly on the Sunday or Monday, and see more of the actual town and sights.

We used to come over late wednesday, arriving at LM about 11pm.  This year we came overnight tuesday, arriving (in the rain) 11.00 am on the wednesday - much better.

Next year, as I havn't got ferries (or work) to worry about, I'll be there Sunday or Monday.
