And the gradual erosion of the atmosphere over the years I've been going bothers me - the sanitised 'Village' is a good example (which we've talked a lot about before, of course). Yes, the loos are great, but F1-style shops and concrete doesn't replace the vibrant sights, sounds and smells of the old Village...... |
I've grown up around the change over...
Yeh, sure, perhaps the village and the fair aren't the same anymore, but the campsites never lose their majic.
Le Mans is still Le Mans, and it always will be.
