The 24 hour endurance race in Le Mans France is by far the most the most incredible sports car event in the world. Over the years nearly all the major car makers in the world have entered and pitted their skills against others with the same idea. Le Mans is set in the French countryside just a couple of hours outside Paris by TGV, France’s 180 mph trains.
Interest in the 2025 and 2026 24 Hours of Le Mans race has been huge! Big name manufacturers are already signed up for 2025 in the Hypercar class, Aston Martin, Alpine, BMW, Cadillac, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Peugeot, Porsche and Toyota.
They come in their thousands from the four corners of the world following their teams with great expectations. Some staying in expensive luxurious Chateaux while others come with a tent and toothbrush in hand. Many stay up for the twenty four hours, while others helicopter back to their luxury accommodations during the short night. Hotels are hard to find, yet Grand Prix Tours has a mix of options that are reasonably priced and certainly more than comfortable. If you want to stay all night we have a hospitality location where you can stay, or we will take you back to the hotel. Want to check out the other side of the track, no problem we have a van to take you. Helicopter rides around the track…yes, we can organize that.
We stay in the fabulous town of Tours in the Loire Valley, among the famed chateau that French royalty built for their excesses, and the vineyards for which the French are so famous. Delightful French cuisine, champagne and wine, a plate of cheese with maybe ten different types and taste, and you have to try the crepes and Grand Marnier at the track. Delicious.
Stay a little longer and visit the Loire Valley, a taste of wine here, a chateau there, a gourmet dinner in Tours in the beautiful historic area. You will not be disappointed. Your hotel is the Oceania Hotel L`Univers, not new, but with lots of character from its 150 year existences of looking after the rich and famous. It has recently been renovated, but has lost none of its historic flair.
So, get out your calendar and clear the second Saturday in June, treat Dad for fathers day and join Grand Prix Tours at the 2026 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Hotel Oceania L'Univers is situated in the heart of the tourist and shopping district and combines old-world charm with contemporary, up-to-date facilities. Just steps from the hotel on the beautiful tree lined streets you'll find many shops, restaurants and side-street cafes.
This 4 star hotel has been the most prestigious address in Tours since 1846. The frescoes in the lobby of this famous gallery depict 44 of the most illustrious celebrities who have been guests at the Hotel.
Executive rooms are 269 sq ft with the charm of antique furniture in tones of dove grey, a contemporary chandelier, suspended from a ceiling with a height of over 3 meters, magnifies the space. The colorful covering with plant motifs in shades of red and pink or blue and violet dresses the headboard and enhances the furniture. The room's most charming feature is the original bathroom window which has been preserved and opens onto the bedroom. Enjoy the quality quilts and mattresses, air conditioning, flat screen TV, safety box and Nespresso machine. Bathrooms are equipped with a spacious Italian-style walk-in shower, hair dryer, towel dryer and products from the luxurious Rituals range, combining the sparkling scent of sweet orange with the stimulating properties of cedar wood.
For your convenience, this lovely hotel also has a pool, jacuzzi, fitness room, restaurant and bar.
The perfect place to stay!
Extra nights and family rooms available - please contact us for details.
Le Mans is the most amazing sports car race in the world, however there is a lack of good hotels and interesting places to visit close to the circuit. Staying in Tours with its fabulous Chateaux and vineyards in the Loire Valley is an obvious choice. We know you came for the race but spend a couple of days to explore this wonderful part of the world. The Gothic Cathedral and the superb gardens of tours should not be missed.
Nestled between the Loire and the Cher rivers lies the historic City of Tours famed for its Old City. Unique to the Old City are its preserved medieval half-timbered buildings and la Place Plumereau, a square with busy pubs and restaurants. The restaurants use the open-air tables that fill the center of the square offering dinner with freshly grown produce which will make you want to come back for more. Try the local wine and cheeses, every farm in the region makes its own cheese, and the wine is world renowned, they make a wonderful combination.

The Château d'Azay-le-Rideau is located in the town of Azay-le-Rideau in the French department of Indre-et-Loire. Built between 1518 and 1527, this château is considered one of the foremost examples of early French renaissance architecture.
The Château de Villandry is a grand country house located in Villandry, in the department of Indre-et-Loire, France. It is especially known for its beautiful gardens.
Chateau Usse, once upon a time there was a fairy tale castle overlooking the rivers Indre and Loire…it was so marvelous that Charles Perrault took it as inspiration for his tale of Sleeping Beauty.
Ideally located between the regions of Anjou and Touraine, the Château de Langeais is composed of two exceptional châteaux occupying a dominant position over the Loire river, the Foulques Nerra tower and the Louis XI château. The powerful towers, the drawbridge and the round path facing the town stand in stark contrast to the elegant facades facing the garden, which prefigure the Renaissance. The château of Langeais displays genuine treasures suggesting the luxuriousness of a seigneurial residence: coffers, tapestries, dressers, cathedral and sumptuous tiling decorate the fifteen rooms of the dwelling.
