Bugger. We've not long booked with Brittany too! Haven't coughed up the final payment yet though so maybe a chance the extra 10% will apply. Thanks for the heads up Neil.

Just use the SNCF website.

IIRC  there's a dotcodotuk version in English.

You can't book tickets until 3 months before journey day, at least that seemed to be the case when I last looked.

Try http://www.raileurope.co.uk as well - this is the UK agent for SNCF and their prices are often cheaper than buying directly from SNCF - even us in France often use them rather than SNCF!

Hi David,
            Depending on where you are travelling from the Eurostar via Lille or Paris is worth investigating.
While all the camp sites are fine I would recommend you trade up to Houx if you are  on foot. Advantages are it is close to Tram for access to train and town and  Carrefor (supplies) is close. The paddock village has bars and food service and plenty of spectating opportunities. Others can tell you the merits of BEAUSEJOUR but I can tell you with out a car or bicycle it is a loooong way from everything except the Porsche Curves.

This!

Camping a Beausejour without a car will probably ruin your trip. It's a minimum of a 45 min walk to the circuit. And there's a lot of walking to be done once you get trackside...
I wouldn't sit there if I were you, it's still a bit wet.
