We are planning on getting a Taxi from the Travel Destinations Campground at the Porsche Curves to half way down the Mulsanne on Saturday night. Does anyone know of a local Taxi firm that would do this, must be english speaking.

Shuttle bus won't help in this case. Bus #5 runs between Mulsanne corner and Entree Est (tram/Houx Annex rounrabout) but doesn't have any stops en-route, so no option to jump off half way down the Mulsanne.

I've never phones a taxi but have caught one from the rank outside the main entrance but don't think you'd have any major issues finding one that speaks English if you start with a polite "Bonjour/Bonsoir, parlez-vous Anglais?" - it only tends to be staff working AT/FOR the ACO that are unable to understand even French spoken with an English accent. Step away to people trying to make money, or just being friendly and you'll get by with either English or a mix of English and schoolboy French. Your only issue may be if you're asking them to drop you in a quite place with nobody around next to the Mulsanne at night...so just book the taxi to either Auberge des Hunaudières or Hotel Arbor.

A few numbers to try*:
Radio Taxi Le Mans 24/7 - +33 (0)2 43249292
Accueil Assur Taxt (AAT) - +33 (0)2 63117910
Taxi Radio - +33 (0)2 43820707
ABC Taxi - +33 (0)2 43424242
Taxis Alliance - +33 (0)2 43212305
Central Taxis - +33 (0)2 43888888


  • No, I don't have some freaky memory for Le Mans taxi companies - my tickets arrived yesterday from Speed Chills and their little guide boox that came with them was next to me/had the numbers ^_^
WOW, thanks, that's some great tips.
