I know Steve bought 1 from me and 1 from Vince, i hope there is room for them, if they get there thursday the only spots left will be either noisy or in those area's prone to flooding

The Steve you know will be down Weds as he's out with us Thurs. Not sure what the other Steve's plans are as yet.

But not this year......

i do hope you are right andrew, but also point out low lying area's that tend to flood are not good for camping on, ground can be wet under the surface and the ground tends to be a little soft so pegs never stay put especially if it gets windy

This will be our first trip to Le Mans, camping in Houx, is that a good place to be???
Any tips for us movies, that are travelling light, due to ridiculously small boot. Arrive on Tuesday afternoon and plan to set up tent then find a supermarche to stock up on the esensials, and get some food as well.
Looking forward to it.

Houx is an excellent place to be! You are very central to lots of key spots. You're within a ten minute walk to the vendor village, paddock, Dunlop bridge, Ford Chicane. Plus you are a ten minute walk to the tram stop that will take you directly into town. I've never tried to find supermarkets that are close to tram stops, but there must be some. You can get straight downtown super easily for the drivers parade and if you want to have a good lunch or dinner in town. I do know that there is a large Super U grocery store in Arnage, there is also another grocery store near Mulsanne Corner. If I remember correctly turn left there and it's right on the left.

Welcome to the forum! Make sure to attend our meeting on race day. It's a highlight of the week. Lots of good booze, food, and new friends.

Welcome to Tenths - enjoy your stay......

I've never stayed in Houx, but others will confirm (I believe) that you've picked a good spot.

Pose any questions you want here, you will get answers. There is a huge amount of LM experience in here.....


Edit - you see, someone beat me to it already!

Indeed. There is a Carrefour supermarket (plus other shops) directly on the tram route from the circuit into town. It is called 'Centre Sud'.

Thanks guys, sounds prefect. We're looking forward to being part of it. Where is the meeting on race day, sounds like a good place to be.

Yes get the tram and about the third stop is carrefore, stock up and head back, bedst to get a book of ten trips which will last you all week.

Houx is a good site and plenty of ten-tenthers will be on that site so look out for a bunch of strange mixed nationals that will be the bulk of tenths people on Houx, site is almost as good as tertre rouge where we will be from teusday, hope to meet you at the saturday meet, all are welcome
