Almost scope for a 'so what do you do on Friday' thread.
In years gone by we've done the pit walk - but it's really busy and often underwhelms. We take it as an opportunity to go and do something non car related - either find a chateau to wander round, or last year, head down towards Angers and explore some vineyards. Once we've done that coming back to the campsite, putting feet up and cooking dinner is a great way of marking the start of the race. Not done the driver's parade and honestly not sure I'm tempted - I've been struck that people coming back from it are generally grinning, which is a great endorsement of it - but I'm equally sure it's not for me.
