24h Le Mans
Every week from April to September, visitors to Le Mans will be able to take a guided tour of the town's famous race tracks. This is a great opportunity to get a glimpse behind the scenes and learn more about the history of the world famous 24 Hours of Le Mans race.
Visit the site of the 24 Hours of Le Mans! The Circuit de la Sarthe is full of history. Every year, its facilities play host to the greatest 24-hour car race in the world, but there are several other prestigious events at the track, including the 24-hour motorcycle race, the French motorcycle Grand Prix, the 24-hour go-karting event and the 24-hour truck race. The guided tour lasts around an hour and three-quarters and draws motorsports enthusiasts and tourists alike.
As from Saturday 2 April, you can book a tour any Saturday outside school holidays and special events, so why not come along and explore some of the track’s emblematic spots, from the race control office to the media room and, of course, the podium! The tour is led by a guide who shares facts, figures and fascinating anecdotes on the legendary circuit’s 110 years of action-packed history.
The guided tours cost €12 for adults (€8 ACO members) and €5 for 12-18 year-olds (under-12s go free). Make your booking via the Boutique Officielle des 24 Heures du Mans on +33 (0)2.43.40.24.65 or at heritage@lemans.org.
