It seems like there is a rival do as well,
10.00 to17H00
ANIMATION Virage de Mulsanne
This day will bring together not only avid motorsports fans within the general public, but also the race participants. Indeed, the drivers will come meet the crowd for an autograph session. The band Trio Bele Noci will enliven the day. Miss 24 Hours will also be there as well as various booths and attractions - such as the showing of a Peugeot car that won at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, cars from the OAK Racing outfit and the innovation of the year: the presentation of the RCZ R ART CAR. Safety will be ensured by track marshals. Friday, June 12th will be a festive day for the Mulsanne corner. The party will take place on the outskirts of the Village and on the track. This day will pay special tribute to Peugeot, as shown in the very beautiful illustration by painter Ray Toombs. An exhibit will put his works on display.

If it's on the track then there will be major road closures that will have to be born in mind.

I'll he heading to Mulsanne this year on Friday instead of the Classic British Welcome. 
Wasn't really impressed with the CBW last year and Mulsanne is only a short ride on the bike away from BN.

Walking and cycling is OK, or at least it has been in recent years...

It should be possible on foot or by bike (I hope).

It's great doing it on a bike, all the road to yourself.
Never argue with an idiot, they'll only drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Hi Kristof,
              Mulsanne is not too far for a bicycle ride. The gendarmes have closed the section of track from Arnage to Mulsanne so you will be on a bit of a detour. This gathering seems to be getting bigger each year. A lot more spread out than St Saturnin at least the last time I went.

We usually manage to do both St Saturnin and Mulsanne, though getting out of St Sat is always a nightmare. According to one of the organisers they said that they have it a bit more sorted this year.
If I was you, I wouldn't start from here
