Some go to Holland, not sure directly to Le Mans.

Go on:

£144 London to Le Mans with a change at either Lille or Paris.

Then there's the cost of getting to London from Southampton, which on a weekday is usually £52 for a day return.

So all in that's around £200

Fuel + ferry + tolls = £134 + £34.06 + £35 = £203.06

Car wins on the basis that it's more flexible, I can cram it with what I need and it will transport loads of beer on the way home ;D

From Paris you take the TGV to Le Mans & from there take the tram to the circuit.

Le Mans is the only option ;D

Post by: LangTall on May 15, 2009, 12:48:59 am: Randy, if you do plan on coming over this year to Le Mans, don't bother finding out which train to get from Amsterdam. We'll get you a space in a car of one of the DfH members. Just state your plans, and we'll hook you up.

Or see if it's cheaper to fly to London and we'll get you across!! :)

Oh look a butterfly ......

LOL
I did some research and this is what I found.
Le Mans is spelled"Le Mans" not LeMans.
Keep that in mind while traveling in France.

approx. airfare $700.00 USD down $600.00 from last year
approx.train Amsterdam to Paris E24.
approx. train Paris to Le Mans E36.
approx. tram to track [i forgot,but it wasn,t much]
Did you it stops Carrefore during race week.

Like I said I do this every year,while yall are getting ready.
Keeps me amused while on hold during the work day.

Kinda slow at work right now,and I am starting get bored.
Can you tell?

LT and JPC if some kind of miracle happens yall will be the first to know
because I would definately need yall's help. ;D
