The TGV runs from Paris (Montparnasse) to Le Mans. It doesn't go to Holland, but the Thalys runs from Amsterdam to Paris (Gare du Nord). Hope this helps.

This train si called TGV.

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

Go on:

http://www.voyages-sncf.com/dynamic/_SvTermCommVoySaisie?_TMS=1191935211499&_DLG=SvTermCommVoySaisie&_LANG=FR&_AGENCY=VSC

and try to book a ticket; it's the website of the SNCF the French national railway company.
Le Mans is life, anything before and after is just waiting...

... it's not the taking part but the winning that counts !

Looked at the train as an alternative to driving.

£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
