GETTING ABOUT ON CIRCUIT
TRAMS,BUSES & MINI-TRAINS
There are a variety of "public systems" working during Le Mans week.
The most obvious is the tram from ANTARES which will take you INTO TOWN .
Obviously it gets very busy on Friday afternoon taking everyone into the Drivers Parade - REPUBLIQUE stop.
DRIVERS PARADE STARTS AT 4PM ON FRIDAY IN 2024
THE TRAM SYSTEM
Join the TRAM (ROUTE T1) at the Terminus ANTARES or GUETTELOUP via Tertre Rouge pedestrian entrance.
You need a ticket. Buy this from the machine on the platform.
The trick is to turn the green knob until you find the correct selection you want for your ticket - return, day pass or 10 journeys (as shown on the ticket on next page) - then press to select!
If you have any journeys left on your card the same ticket will work next year.
You need to “validate” the journey
by putting the ticket (to me it seems you put the ticket in upside down) into one of the machines inside the tram
FOR EACH OF YOUR GROUP TRAVELLING. On the ticket shown above you can see 2 of us travelled on the 14 Mar.
DO THIS BOTH ON THE JOURNEY IN AND OUT OF the City.
There are regular ticket inspections.
