you will enjoy yourself that I am certain of, top tips as follows
Use the motorway from Calais to Rouen then follow the signs it will take you round the outskirts of the city onto the motorway heading towards Caen then you have a choice either continue on the motorway and then take the next motorway direct to Le mans or turn off after a few miles and take the old road n138(now d338) just follow the brits if you are unsure.
Break the journey after rouen have some lunch and stock up with surplies in one of the towns on the d338.
Directions to campsites can be found elsewhere so look those up, set up camp and talk to those around you, beer breaks the ice but you will find that out as soon as you arrive, in case of hot or wet weather take a Gazebo if you can fit it in
Thursday night explore and watch the practice try and look around the village behind the pit complex, make sure you go into the grandstand above the pits on thursday to watch the cars from above as they enter the pits
Friday go to St saturin for the classic british welcome (see other post) come back to the campsite in the afternoon and then take the tram into town for the drivers parade
Saturday go to the tent tenths meet and meet everyone pick up tips for where to watch the race from them, start watching the race from either grandstand seats(I would save money and not bother for your first trip) or watch from the banking before tertre rouge.
Try and make sure you watch some night time racing if you can get there go to arnarge in the dark.
After the race be careful in dairion as there will be no security for the sunday night
