In real terms it’s pretty unlikely you’ll find anything in Le mans itself as most of these are booked year on year. I suggest that if you try somebody like ‘Just Tickets’ or ‘Motor racing international’ (both of which should be easily found with a simple internet search) they may well have something abour ½ hours drive away.

Our own little group have been staying in Alencon for 15 years now and is about 30ish miles north of Le Mans. A good business associate of mine managed to book into the Ibis there in the last month or so and if not there are several other chain type hotels to choose from. It’s a pretty decent little town with the normal mixture of bars and restaurants and like pretty much every where else in this part of the world over the Le Mans weekend is full of British exotica. You may need to book the three nights and just not go back on Saturday night as indeed we did to watch Jaguar win all those years ago, happy days

Good luck and keep us posted and fret not, not all of us do the camping thing, showers, beds and proper toilets are perfectly ok to me!
