Title: firewood suppliers in Le Mans?
Post by: MadMarkus on June 11, 2013, 06:04:51 pm

Hi guys and gals,

Just downloaded and printed out your excellent guide to Le Mans and although it's perfect i'm still looking for a firewood supplier in Le Mans. We will be arriving at tertre rouge monday early and like to stock up on wood to burn 'cause we like a little fire to keep us warm in those cold nights... ideas anyone?

Sorry, forget to mention that i allready googled my ass off on "bois de chauffage"but only got suppliers that demand a minimum order of at least 3 cubic metres.....that's a bit to much for our renault megane estate..and for Le Mans! so what do you think? just go to one of these places and hope for the best?

Mr Pyro.. How did you gues? I"ve camped at tertre rouge for along time now and we never forget our handsaw to do some prunning (?) and gardening in order to get a unobstructed view off the track with respect to the trees and wildlife ofcourse....

The best way I've seen of achieving this, is to take an upright piano.......

I have seen Caravans used as fire wood at Le Mans too.

Here's some 'after' photos of said piano (plus a couple of convenient pallets).
