Should be no problem bringing it in but don't expect to find ice for sale at a local 7-11.

I have no information about parking passes as I was a corner worker in '99 - '02 but plan on getting there early anyway. How is your French?

I would imagine the restrictions on sleeping in cars is related to cars parked on a public right of way. I don't think anyone would object if you slept in the car in the car park.

Thanks in advance.
You might enjoy the stories of my adventures. Start HERE for general information. Then 1999 , 2000 , 2001 and finally 2002 . They are probably considered `vintage' by now and I am sure that "The Village" has lost it's `charm' and the roads hve been improved. That being said, I wish I could join you and show you around.

Check the other Le Mans threads and try to meet up with the rest of the 10ths crew at noon on SAT.

PM with questions.
