LE MANS CLASSIC 2008
Racing enthusiasts since 1923 have been making their way in June to the delightful town of Le Mans and the Sarthe Circuit. The town is an integral part in the history of the race and literally lights up during race week.
This year sees the return of the Le Mans Classic. A series of races over 24 hours embracing cars that have competed at Le Mans from the very first race in 1923 right through to 1978. The Le Mans Classic offers a truly wonderful opportunity to relive the history of the Vingt Quatre Heures du Mans.
In response to previous successful “Le Mob” visits to the Le Mans Classic we are pleased to offer exclusive accommodation packages at our French châteaux, country houses and attractive converted French country farmhouses many having swimming pools. All possess their own individual charm and are within 20mins of Le Mans and the circuit. There's ample time to relax and savour the build up to the race and to explore the local countryside. We can offer 3 and 4 Star hotel accommodation packages centered at Amboise on the Loire.
Guests wishing to camp can do so in the secluded grounds of our Château d’Eporcé.
