The Audi monument takes centre stage in 'Le Village'

With its numerous bars, food outlets and shops the ACO Village represents the hub of the circuit. ‘Le Village’ sprawls from the Dunlop Chicane and furthest reaches of the Interior Musee campsite down towards the pit straight where it peters out into a maze of team hospitality tents behind the pit boxes. At the centre of the Village is the main square that shows live screenings of the race via a giant screen. Standing behind it is a giant monument adorned with the Audi logo, another statement in Audi's fight for world domination!

 

Surrounding the square you will find the majority of the modern permanent structures that house toilet facilities, retailers and hospitality suites. Food and drink is expensive wherever you go around the circuit but not extortionate. The Village is no exception and you will find a good variety including fast food, basic sit down meals, crepe stalls and bars that serve beer, brandy and champagne in abundance. This place really comes alive during the race and at night the atmosphere is friendly and inviting, encouraging you to stay up to the wee hours and follow the race for as long as you can keep your eyes open!
