Racing across the French countryside on a Paris to Le Mans TGV after having a few beers and lunch in Paris, to be just in time to catch the 1st practice session..... 
Did that on my 2nd Le Mans - flew in to Paris and took the TGV - very relaxing way to do it provided someone is taking your gear for you. wsn03 said:

Were you heading there to see the old grandstand? That's what we were planning to do
Ah oui, bien sûre 
Although I visit Reims every year, buy some Champagne and drink it in the pool of my favourite Bed and Breakfeast, I don't visit the old F1 track every year. But here are some pics from 2015:

The hardest part of going to Reims is pronouncing it. I’ve had several conversation with various french friends and they all differ!Although I visit Reims every year, buy some Champagne and drink it in the pool of my favourite Bed and Breakfeast, I don't visit the old F1 track every year.

Wed eve: just arrived at Riems, we'd be heading to the Chinese by the Ibis I'd booked, for a big dinner...looking forward to tomorrow whilst still worrying about the weather forecast
Is that the one on a trading estate? Has a steak house type restaurant attached to it? wsn03 said:

If you get another chance, and are interested, then check out Musee de la Reddition in Reims which is where the first German surrender to the Allies was taken (day before the one the Soviets demanded in Berlin). It’s a spooky place I thought.
We would be waking to our German neighbours playing very loudly the traditional version of this..
