Staying in Laval

[Vario-Rob]

After many years of staying in Alencon I think next year we are due a change, I stayed in Laval the very first time I went to the race in 1988.

Are there any of the ticket and travel operators that have accommodation in Laval, I’ve looked around but it seems to have fallen of the radar?

If this works I fancy travelling over to St. Malo on the boat next year rather than the slog down from Calais.

All thoughts welcome.

I've stayed in the Campanile there a few times when I couldn't get accomodation nearer the circuit. It was pretty straightforward booking through their website. Easy to find from the 2nd peage exit (coming from Le Mans).

Quite a nice little town Laval we have been there many times.

We stay about 20-30 mins from Laval in a old watermill (La Cropte).

Not sure if that is too far for you? if you would like the details then let me know.

We stayed in Laval this year, after a few years in Falaise, It was a nice drive down through mayenne on lots of straight roads. (from caen)

and it was easy getting into le mans saturday morning, door to car park in an hour.

Thanks for the input elsewhere, where do you stay in Laval and you book it trough a motor racing travel company?

we stayed in hotel campanile, its the le mans side of town, i think its just off the D514. booked direct on the web. 48 euros a night B&B, including "all you can eat" buffet breakfast. would reccomend.

When cycling through France a few years ago I stayed in the Hotel de Paris, a modern slightly bland hotel in the centre of Laval. My diary notes show that it was good value and clean. A quick Google shows that it is a Best Western. My notes say that the staff were quite helpful
Food was a bit hit & miss on a Monday evening in Laval (as in many French towns), but next door is a Kanter-pub where they did a mean Steack-frites and Kanterbrau lager in decent (i.e. 500ml & 1 litre) glasses, a touch "Harvester" but ideal if you want to refuel at reasonable cost and not have to keep summoning a waiter for an ale. Free olives and nibbles whilst you are pondering the menu too

We stayed at a friends place just north of Mayenne (Ceauce) was a good drive to Le Mans but was quite long, think it was about 90mins. Still with the great French roads it was bearable
