Automobile Club de l'Ouest circuits to reopen on 1 June!

The Automobile Club de l’Ouest is delighted to announce it will be reopening its doors to the public on 1 June, with all necessary hygiene measures in place. We are glad to be able to welcome visitors back to the 24 Hours of Le Mans Museum, the karting, the Porsche Experience Center and our driving instruction centres.

Welcome back!

From 1 June, our customers will be able to visit the museum that retraces the history of the 24 Hours of Le Mans and of motoring, browse our ever-changing range of 24 Hours merchandise, enjoy an afternoon at the karting track, experience driving a Porsche or a prototype or learn how to better handle their own car or bike.

All necessary steps have been taken to follow government guidelines and procedures will be clearly explained at reception desks.

Health and safety remain our overriding priority and we go above and beyond requirements in these areas. In the current sanitary situation, our number one criterion for reopening was ensuring the safety of our staff and visitors.
