Following a trial during the 2010 Le Mans 24 Hours the Travel Destinations Flexotel Village was introduced for the Le Mans 24 Hours 2011. After much planning and discussion it was great to finally get down on the ground and get started.
The rooms arrive at the Flexotel Village
The new location that we selected for the Flexotel Village was at Antares-Sud. This location, near the tram terminus, is in the centre of the Le Mans Circuit and provides the ideal place from which to explore all that is Le Mans.

Heavy machinery required to build the Travel Destinations' Flexotel Village
In our private fenced area we built 80 rooms for Tavel Destinations guests attending the Le Mans 24 Hours. The cabins arrived by lorry and trailer at the beginning of the week. Progress was slow early on as late changes and additions were made, but soon the rooms were rising all around the village.
First sight of the Travel Destinations Flexotel Village
As well as the private lockable rooms the Flexotel Village would also benefit from 24 Hours security, fully serviced showers and toilets as well as a social area under our marquee (just in case!) with our bar, big screen tv and barbecue area. Of course we also had the love Radio Le Mans commentary on so everyone could keep up with the action on the circuit.

Guests enjoying the Travel Destinations' Flexotel Village
We had a really good crowd staying with us in our Flexotel Village throughout the Le Mans weekend. The breakfasts including freshly squeezed orange juice and bacon grilled to order were particularly popular. Of course the beer went down quite well too!
Desperate to be in a photo at the Flexotel Village?
So from just a car park on the Monday before the race to just a car park on the Tuesday following the race, you wouldn’t believe quite what had been there inbetween. 80 rooms and 160 guests enjoying themselves together at the Travel Destinations’ Flexotel Village. All the feedback has been really positive and we already have bookings for next year so if you want to be part of the Flexotel Evolution at Le Mans 2012 call us on 0844 873 0203.
Individuals, couples, groups, media, race teams and staff are all welcome.
