As we we're trundling along through France yesterday we wondered what other people might have built into their Le Mans itinerary. Did you fit in a trip to Euro Disney, Paris, a trip to a vineyard or another motorsport event? You get the idea. I guess some of you have come up with some great ideas, please share??(Apologies if this has been done before)beer

We did our yearly visit to the toilets at the road side in Quincampoix, just cause they're usually the most disgusting toilets you've ever seen.
Always good for a photo to take home for the Mrs.

I wouldn't quite describe Quincampoix as the Somme, but it does come close if the Red Sausage fairy has come to visit a bowel or two on the trip back to the Channel.

We leave before the end of the race (because we know Audi will win again), drive on roads like this





To get to this little place biggrin





We then do lots of this biggrin





We then go down to the games room in the cellar and do a bit of this smile



Rounds off a bloody good weekend thumbup

Managed to squeeze in Millau Viaduct, Gorge du Tarn, Mont Ventoux, Gorge du Verdon, some of the Route Napoleon and will squeeze in Stelvio, San Bernardino, Tremelo, Grimsel and one or two others before I get home. smile
