The famous Le Mans 24 hour road race takes place 14-15 June 2008 - so steer clear of Le Mans (72 Sarthe, Pays de la Loire) for the weekend (and a few days beforehand) unless you are a motor-racing enthusiast. Admittedly things are much easier now with the A28 autoroute taking you north-south from the Channel coast and Alencon down towards Niort and the south west without entering the Le Mans itself, but traffic will be heavy - often with some wonderful classic cars to admire en-route.
For more info on the race see www.lemans.org
When the town is not full of racing enthisuasts, it is well worth a visit with a fine old medieval city centre to explore - see www.lemanstourisme.com
