Can anyone recommend good Museums to take in on the way down to Le Mans this year from Le Harvre?

Jacques Lafitte was at the USGP this past September and he mentioned that
he has been working getting a bunch of old Ligiers restored for a museum.
You might do a search under his name and see if his site says anything.

Thanks, we went to Loheac last year and it is truly fantastic, its enormous and beautifully laid out,--- I think you would have to say superior to Beulieu or Donington --yet amazingly on the thursday of Le Mans week we were the only ones going round , -- if you have not been it's a must see !

Tell me more about Roromaterin , where is it , what sort of place how many exhibits, is there a website? Any where else we could string a number of visits en route to Le Sarthe?
