Just Found This Info - Check the bottom paragraph...

Houx Annexe

Proximity to Village:
This boisterous site is a 15 minute walk from the Village via the northern loop of the Bugatti circuit or the Esses corner.

Proximity to track:
On foot, the corner at Tertre Rouge may be reached in 10 minutes with the Esses complex accessible in only 5. The Mulsanne straight stretches out beyond the trees to the East of the site and although concealed from view it provides a cacophony of noise!

Ground:
Houx Annexe is dissected by two lines of trees that effectively split the site into three fields. The best pitches are those that lie within close proximity of the trees as they offer shade and some protection from the dust kicked up by all the vehicular traffic across the site. The ground consists of patchy grass that will take a sturdy tent peg without any trouble.

Facilities:
There are temporary shower and toilet blocks dotted around the site that are maintained to a good standard.

Getting around by car:
This site is easy to navigate to and from by car as it is served by the roads that make up the circuit’s infrastructure. As such they wont be clogged up with through traffic.

Typical camper:
Houx Annexe is widely regarded as the wildest of the official Le Mans sites, its regulars returning each year for the non stop party atmosphere. Unsurprisingly, the site is almost exclusively British although you will find a few Europeans if you try hard enough.

Additional:2007 is the last year that Houx Annexe will remain in its current state. Following the race it is scheduled to be halved in size to make way for the building of a football stadium.
