2024 NCM-MIM Le Mans Tour

June 8th – June 18th, 2024

Join us as we return to France for the 2024 24 Hours of Le Mans race.  Here is the chance to see C8 Corvettes race against the world’s best GT cars in the most famous race of all. Just a few highlights of the tour include stops in Paris, Normandy, and, of course, Le Circuit de la Sarthe (Le Mans Track). We will have professional guides with us during the entire trip to assist with our travels. After four nights in Paris, we will spend two nights in Normandy before we travel to Angers where we will stay throughout the Le Mans race.

The next three days will have us visiting the Le Circuit de la Sarthe (Le Mans track) as well as the town of Angers. Monday, we depart Angers to visit Chartres and its Cathedral and on to Paris for one last free afternoon. Check out of our hotel and continue with your plans of either more travel or to the airport.  Hotels, ground transportation, tour tickets, all breakfasts, some meals, Le Mans general admission race tickets, and Corral tickets are included.  This trip is extremely limited so we have a very limited number of openings. Make your plans early to join us in making memories, new friends, and seeing beautiful France.
