GarageVert. To go or not to go!!??

[a.christie]

I have just received my allocation for LM 2011.I have been an ACO member for a number of years and requested camping on Houx where I have been for yearsand Grandsand 17 ACO Durand.Got the grandstand but been issued Garage Vert for Camping.
Anyone stayed in this area before.Need to know a bit more about it before committing to buy.The Aco have said that they are all sold out of Houx which I can`t quite believe as I booked weeks ago,but..............
I have a ferry already booked so do I go to Vert or not??

No! it's a car park, beside the new football stadium.

Thanks for reply.

I have responded back to ACO for an explanation on this "NEW" camping area that is being sold.

See, I thought that, but pretty sure I was corrected on the point this year - apparently there is a campsite in or around the area which was the Parking Vert area of the Bugatti circuit.

Just looking for details now.

It's on this map, just next door to Houx Annexe and south of the Bugatti circuit:

Yep, it is a campsite - click on the Campsites and Car parks picture here http://www.speedchills.com/le-mans-24-hours/event-...

We have been offered it as a Private Campsite in the past but the location wasn't right. Seemed OK - good proximity to Paddock through a new tunnel under the Bugatti circuit and close to the Tram terminus.

Thanks for replies.Have not had a response back from ACO so as I can remember being on Tribune,Chappelle, Interior Musee and whatever in the past, that seems to be where Garage Vert is then!
Not far from new ACO building,toilets and showers?As has been said pretty accessible for most areas.
Might just go for it.
