Rent a local's house

Renting a house is the classic Le Mans move for groups: locals all around the circuit rent out homes, gîtes and spare rooms for race week. You get a kitchen, beds for the whole crew and parking, often closer to the track than any hotel.

The best houses are rebooked year after year by the same groups, so new listings and early requests are everything. Check the map, and if you see something close in the first two rings, do not sleep on it.
