Haven't made my way there... but did look on maps thinking of going (by car) last year.

From recollection I would say it would be a fair bit of a cycle. Bit of a slog.

It's just under 10 miles from the main circuit entrance

Would you say its an easy 10 miles or are there a lot of hills ? Ive been to Le Mans a number of years and dont think its that hilly but honestly cant say its the sort of thing ive taken any notice of !

Not done it on a bike but as you say I can't remember any hills

Just had a re-check, as on a bike you could go through the centre of LM so then 9 miles

Don't forget, if you cycle through the middle of LM you can put your 'bike on a tram. And yes, the area is pretty flat and there's a good number of bars to ahve a rest at on the way.

If you can put your bike on the trams and buses. Take the tram to Prefecture then the number 8 bus to the Auchan (hypermarket) in the northern part of town then only 1.5 to 2 miles from there.
