Much less people around the globe would know Le Mans if it wasn't for its worldwide famous 24h circuit and I couldn't leave the city without visiting the place where the heart of racing beats:
Spoiler: I'm not gonna enter the race track, I'm here to get a few things for the boutique and see how it looks like.
As you can see it's a beautiful day and from here I can see the entrance of the boutique and museum in the distance:
Yep, it's that white beauty in the distance next to the also white BMW. That sugar coloured Morgan made it all the way from UK:
I go straight to the boutique and see what souvenirs I can buy. Take "can" as literally implying how affordable they are as (unsurprisingly) they are overpriced. Some are good looking stuff though:
I grab a sticker and a T-shirt when... I realise that actually Le Mans is celebrating the centennial of its 24h circuit: 1923-2023! Not a bad timing though unintentional 🙂
I go to check out and the girl behind the desk tells me something in French as I hand her the t-shirt. I ask her in an apologising tone if she speaks English and she gives me a "go figure" face peppered with a bit of demean. She leaves the desk and comes back later with another same shirt in a package. We exchange smiles and I step out where I step on the queue of the museum:
It looks a bit like a 4x4 trial but I'm actually clueless about its use, other than advertising the German brand.
Yes, all the wear and faded colours you see where done while it was just shitting in my wallet for those few minutes of my ride back to the place I stay. Quality? What quality?
And I also hope the weather will soon allow me to wear it.
The following 4K video is me riding around and since it has the raw sound with a bit of noise reduction on the loud sections keep the volume low if you wear earphones:
Le Mans time is running out. Where do I go next?
See me in the next episode and find out 😉
