Our ETA is about 9pm on Thursday night, possibly later.

We'll be coming of the A11 and pretty much heading straight for the circuit to arrive in Bleu Sud.

As the Traffic will be pretty heavy I'd like to be able to get some supplies (Beer) after leaving the A11 but before Carrefour.

I've only driven along this route once in daylight, are there any centre Commercial  along this road, or do I need to wait till Friday morning.

What I want to do is stop 10 minutes get Beer then get to the campsite and start enjoying.

There is at least one service area where I could stop on the way, do Is it likely to have beer?

thanks

The Auchan North of Le Mans is open until 2145 and stocks are always good. As you come off the motorway north of le mans you take the 3rd exit (a dual carriageway) the Auchan is on the Left but you have to exit the road to the right and go under a tunnel. You will not experience any more or less traffic through going there as it is on route. The Carrefor is always busier than the Auchan.

Thanks, however I don't think that will be the way I'll get to the circuit as I made a minor error in my previous route;

 I actually leave the A11 at junction 6 to join the A28 (peage) for 7km then leave at junction 23 to join the dual carriageway that runs past the Tertre rouge and the top of the circuit.
 Its the section between Tertre Rouge and junction 23 that I was hoping to find somewhere.

I just said on another post - ferries are pretty close to shop prices, buy some to while away your journey

There's no supermarket likely to be open when you arrive in that area. You might consider making a quick stop-off at Carrefour at Chartres. It's very close to the A11 autoroute. Just come off at junction 2 (N10 to Chartres), take the Chartres direction and it's next to the road at less than 1 mile. It closes at 9:30pm.
