KP it's not "bapteme en l'aire" but "bapteme de l'air" . Bapteme en l'air would mean you're baptisted by a parachutist bishop. It's only british people to have such an idea !!!  

BTW the copter start is face of general entrance at the corner of the airfield. And you're right, it's only 2 laps of the circuit!

Well, I did say "something like that" !! I'll have a crack at your English next Gilles!!
And I bought you some little LM models at a brocante today!

Wonder what the price is if we go direct must be cheaper than 99 quid from Page & Moy

[Werner]

Some of my mates did it last year, they just went to the airstrip and it was about 70 EURO per person for about 15 minutes flight

[jpchenet]

You were right then powermite, about £50 then!!

Just Tickets are advertising Helicopter flights at Le Mans in this weeks Autosport.  Sorry can't remember the price.  Min you likely to be halfway between the actual price and the P & M price!

I'm sure there's a tent on Houx Annexe that does chopper rides for £5 or a box of beer. I think it was for Ladies only though.
