PRACTICAL
INFORMATION
Prepare your visit to M24 by consulting our practical information: opening dates and times, prices, access, available services and answers to your questions.
THE MUSEUM AND THE CIRCUIT ARE OPEN…
Events
During major sporting events at the circuit (24 Hours of Le Mans for Cars/Motor bikes, Le Mans Classic …), the museum remains open but with modified access and visitor conditions.
If you don’t have a ticket for the event, accessing M24 can be difficult. Parking is reserved for spectators so there will be large crowds and traffic will be disrupted. We recommend visiting outside these dates. If you have an event ticket, the museum is open, but it may be much busier than usual.
We advise you to consult the ACO events calendar before your trip or contact our teams to plan your visit in the best possible conditions.
