One more hat in the ring... Looking for 2 tickets for Camping Bleu.  Anyone?

Have you tried behind the fridge?

Good idea, but last time I stuck my arm back there I heard all kinds of growling and gnashing of teeth... Kinda spooked me...

You can turn up on the day - make it about Wednesday and pay 39 euros combined parking/camping per car. No problem.

I'd heard that before, but am a little nervous about traveling 1000 km without a reservation... Particularly as I'll be attending with a couple of newbies, and if for whatever reason there weren't tickets available, I'd feel pretty silly.

I may do that if there are no other options available, but hopefully I can help someone out that has some extra tickets they don't need, and they can give me some peace of mind...

I dare say you have - only because it's true.
Please yourself!

OK, just double checked and the official ACO website is still showing spaces available on Parking Bleu with thje opportunity of paying the "Bivouac" supplement to pitch a tent!!

This is great, but can someone clarify something for me? What is the difference between a "Camping Bleu Lay-by" and "Bleu bivouac"? With the Bivouac, can I get into the "normal" bleu campsite?

Thanks again!

The lay-by is the proper bleu campsite. The bivouac area is a small area setup in the bleu car park for people to camp in - apparently to avoid the problem of people just camping in the car park. The bivouac supplement won't get you into the campsite.

You're better off waiting til nearer the time, plenty of tickets will be available.

The "lay- by" is the campsite, and is quite small. The "bivouac" is an area of the blue carpark which is cordoned-off (it expands according to requirements) for those wanting to put up a tent or two next to their car. There are fairly decent loos.
I've never bothered to book in advance, as the blue car park is enormous, but you can book with the ACO if you need to feel confident.

Bloke who camped next to us last year arrived on Friday evening, payed the supplement and was told to camp in the Bleu overflow field. Guess he was just lucky or that the bivouac area was full.

OK guys, I'm a little thick here but bear with me... I'm still trying to mentally locate where this bivouac camping is.

You head toward the grandstands, you've got Maison Blanche on the right, Bleu on the left, and a crowd of drunken loonies between the two. To enter Bleu, you pass the campsite and enter on the left. You then make another left to enter the campsite proper. To the right is a large parking lot - is this the bivouac area? If not, where is the bivouac area with respect to the Bleu lay-by area?

Thanks again!

As I understand it, Camping Bleu is a jagged granite outcrop covered in sharp gravel and the remains of long dead crows. However for the supplement you're allowed into the bivouac area, this gives you possesion of previously erected tents, unlimited Vaseline and the company of lithe long legged models with few clothes, less scruples and questionable personal hygiene.
Some people think it's worth paying the extra, but I just don't know, you could buy a couple of extra beers with that spare cash...

It's bang opposite Maison Blanche. It's called Parking Bleu.

We're starting to get "nearer the time", and I've dropped off the first page... Anyone have any Camping Bleu that they don't need? I'm not nervous yet, but the last two weeks before The Event I'll be out of town and won't be able to go begging... I could use a total of three. Please?

You do realise you only need one camping pass per vehicle and not one per person dont you?

F

Yup, I realize that, thanks. We have three vehicles going.

Worst case is we'll park a car or two outside, but it would be nice to be able to park together inside so we could keep an eye on them.

Thanks!

Dont blame ya - I hear there are some right dodgy characters lurking about!  8)

F (not in the least bit dodgy)

GT5S, myself and some friends are selling our Camping Bleu tickets, their's at least 4 car loads shifting them for some alternatives we've been offered ! I paid £48 for mine so i'll accept an offer based upon that !  :)

If there is a spare Camping Bleu available after GT5S' requirements are met then I would be willing to take it off someone's hands. Starting to get nervous too!  :-\

Mat C -  I could be interested in a ticket for £48. Do you have them in hand and where were they purchased out of interest?

Talk about bad luck... The week I go out of town and don't have Internet access, a handful come up! Any still available? I'm ultimately looking for three!

If you've got them, consider them sold! I'll be once again out of e-mail contact for the first part of next week, so if you don't hear back from me until later in the week, don't panic... (I'll be here until Le Mans, so hopefully some more will come up as we get closer...)

Thanks!

Hi all,

Any of those that were available last week still available?

Wondering if I should start to get nervous or not??

Thanks!

GT5S_1985,

I still have my campling blue ticket if you want it.
