I would go visit the LeMans race car museum while you are at LeMans. Maybe after or before the race. Also... they have a 24 minutes of LeMans before the main race... it's for the old historic race cars.

See 05:32...

There is also a parade of all/most of the driver's thru the city... @12:34...

In Paris BMW has a special store/exhibit where you can look at BMW things...

BMW GEORGE V MB
38 Avenue George V,

Well... the last time I was there was back in 1998 when Porsche last won. All I remember is 400K people looking for a bathroom to piss, and eat and drink beer. Seemed like half of that 400K people were Brits. lol I enjoyed walking around the track at night. There is all sorts of night life at LeMans. And then there is the traffic leaving the track. Where some comfy shoes... you will be walking A LOT! I think they have busses to shuttle you around... but we could never figure out where the stops were. We walked a lot. LeMans is a bucket list kind of place along with the 24 Hours of Nurburgring.

I slept in my rental car. Hotel prices were insane. We bought some food/drinks beforehand(on the Autoroute/Highway) and took turns sleeping in the car. It was awesome seeing LeMans first hand!!
