need advice from my European friends on LeMans logistics
Hi
As I've previoulsy mentioned, I plan on attending this year's LeMans, but, as it turns out, I need to work out a realy tight schedule because my daughter's middle-school graduation is on the 11th here in California. Since France is 9 hours ahead of me, and assuming we'll depart for Paris on the night of the 11th, we'll be arriving Paris in the late afternoon of the 12th and I'll hop on the train for LeMans and get there by late night of the 12th or morning of 13th.
The advice I need is (for those of you who have done it) from which train station do I take the train, Gare du Nord; Gare Montparnasse; or Gare du Lyon? What is the exact name of the destination/town I need to buy tix for, LeMans or Sarthe? How long is the train ride? And, lastly, how to get to the track from the train station?
I need to make sure all the LeMans-logistic is lined up before I book the LeMans leg of our family vacation.
Man, why isn't her graduation on the 9th or the 10th instead.......
lol I hate to miss LeMans this year again, as we attended the British GP last year (see how the timing and location of many of my family vacations "coincidentally" happen to be around some big race :biggrin), but I didn't check the date for the 24 hrs race.... Missed it by a week!
Thx
