Have I got this right that parking at M1 and various Bleu sites is Free?

I doubt it based on the last couple of years where parking was additional at Mulsanne, arnage etc

Yes you need to pay for some, but it looks like some parking is now free, I'm just checking to make sure I'm reading it right.

I parked there last year with a ticket and wanted to book same again this year but noticed you cant, so I think it must be free this year!

Not used to anything being free, I nearly said ''don't be so stupid it's the ACO'' but blow me down you're right.
Theres also a green car park M1 near Tertre rouge which is free.
Let's hope it's not a mistake and that they don't later tell us it's free for test days

I have paid this year, and previous, for Blanc, reserved, and Mulsanne/Arnage. I always thought that blue, the one next to white, but first come first served, and the one down the road at the r'bout were always free. Used both of the latter a few years ago, on race w'end, and that was the case then.

I too had heard that bleu will be free parking this year. Good if you need to park there, bad if you're camping right next to it like we are. 3 Years ago there were some French s who setup an encampment in there right next to us with a PA sound system that pretty much ruined our weekend. I pray that this situation doesn't repeat itself with people using Bleu as a free camp site to go nuts in!

If this is the case, then might need to look at the free ones next year. Started using Blanc, so as to get a reserved place, as with blue, etc this was not always the case. Trouble is, even on Blanc, we've had encampments set up, with large groups setting up tables in the isles used for access to the parking slots. Not amused when they have to dismantle to allow us, and others out, so we can move on to the corners. Why do they not think access is required at any time of the day ?
