Try doing that whilst drunk and not falling backwards... if lucky there might be some handles to hold.

I have and failed but was sober enough to realise when to give up and wait, still managed to piss in my shoe.

Luckily there are a few more decent toilet blocks around, look for the red buildings.

If you are in Houx, avoid the old toilet/shower block in the middle and take a stroll/shuffle to the exit of the campsite nearest the final chicane. You'll find its a slightly more civilised experience there!

As much as I am looking forward to going to Le Mans for the first time, the crappers are my worst nightmare. I am toying with buying a cheap portable loo to take in to the crappers with me, using that then just leaving it when I head home.....

Don't fret yourself. There are plenty of normal sitty-down-stylee khazis. Like 24lemons says they can be found in the blocks in the new village and the porta-kabins in the campsites.

However, given the relative lack of facilities for 250,000 this golden rule applies: go when you can, not when you have to.

I think I've spotted the error...

Shirley One should lower one's under garments to avoid them being filled with poo

Having been for the last 31 years i do remember when most of the crappers were that sort, but not seen them for many years, i do remember the old days when those facilities were common, after a few ventures into them it became very apparent that drunk british males could not use then without spraying wee everywhere and missing the hole in the centre, a french friend then told me the solution, use the ladies which were all normal style. Never had a problem after that

Been 10 times and the old toilets have not changed in that time. We are always next to the old block in the Houx and use them as they are so close. Quite an experience. The French organisers (ha!) should be ashamed of themselves.

I remember a bog in what is now Karting Nord, stand alone toilet, coming back from watching the end of the race, walking past mentioned toilet, gust of wind blows open the door, we stand in shock at the sight before us.

The toilet over the previous 24 hours must have been used on a constant basis, there was a perfect pyramid of poo coming above and beyond the toilet seat by about a foot, how the last person taking a dump in it managed to stand on the toilet seat and find his aim I will never know.

This thread makes me glad that I am staying in a civilised house in the old town with all the facilities you get at home.

There are even very civilised loos at the track if you know where they are. As I don't want to have to queue I will keep their location to myself (mean, I know). biggrin

It is a shame that the organisers can't improve this sort of thing. The costs are relatively small so I wonder if it is a case of "that will do for these English pigs".

Most other toilets you use anywhere in France are either quite or very civilised. It does make you wonder though.....

Why do you assume that the squatters are some sort of revenge for agincourt?

Try being nice to the French. You'll be suprised - most of them are spot on and only vaguely smell of garlic smile

Their iron indignation 'gainst your walls.

Anyone have any advice on positioning ? Last year I had to balance on one leg while holding the door closed with the other, both arms supporting me on the back wall, after a few splats they were in.


God this brings back horrific memories.

Are they still that common across France? It's a most uncivilised way to take a dump.

No such thing as a small deposit at Le Mans. Fry-ups and BBQ's beer and cheese....

Now this could work.....or a variation of it
