I'd also recommend going on D roads as opposed to Auto Routes and N roads... its not fun getting pulled over by the Gendarmes.... and a 750 Euro fine in 2005 was £500 - today it will set you back £655.
Best advice... watch the race, don't have your own race...

Sound advice.
The Gendarmes are much more likely to stop you randomly, even during "normal" motoring in France, but they become extra keen during LM weekd an the closer you are to the area.
Cruise control for the Cautious!
