Top Active Leisure Sport in Pays de la Loire

If you can book your tickets for the endurance race well in advance. Prices go up as the date approaches and you'll save a good bit. I learned that the hard way!

Explore the surrounding areas too! The town of Le Mans has some awesome history and cool places to visit. I almost missed out on it because I was too focused on the races.

Arrive by 9 AM on race days to beat the traffic and get a decent parking spot. I got stuck in a long line, and it stressed me out before the race even started!

Check out the local food stands before the race starts. I found some amazing street food that was way cheaper and tastier than the usual stands inside the circuit. Don't miss out on those local specialties!

Don't rush through the exhibits. Take your time with the botanical gardens – they're stunning, and I almost missed a few cool spots because I was too hasty!

you can save some cash by bringing your own snacks. the food there is tasty but it's a bit pricey. i wish i'd packed a picnic instead!

I recommend getting there right when it opens at 10 am to avoid the crowds. By the time I arrived around noon, the lines were crazy!
