Great guide guys!
Just one thing I would like to add about the bars, as I am the landlord of a bar in Le Mans:
Rey Gins Bar no longer exists
The Mini Bar no longer exists
The Pub Crawl is gay friendly, a lot!
And we have a new bar the UNION JACK, a british bar run by British, with a 24 hour theme. In fact, my brother raced 3 times in the 24 hours and we have trophy's of his and photos of the cars of the 2008 race on the bar. Find us in Rue du Docteur Leroy, just off the place de la Republique, the pub with the huge British flag on the wall!
Just thought it was worth a mention. Sorry I didn't contact you earlier!
