The 24 Hours week is so amazing!! The Castle of Chanteloup usually welcomes a racing team (i.e.: Lola in 2000, Ascari in 2001, Taurus in 2003 and 2004, Miracle in 2005) and many of racing and cars fans, mainly English. They arrive at the beginning of the week with their Lotus, Ultima, Marcos, Porsche or even Palmer for the craziest !

The atmosphere level increases at the bar and on the terrace as fast as the draught bear level decreases in glasses. The atmosphere is at its top level on Friday evening with the famous “Elegance Contest” and “Sport Cars Show” which takes place after the pilots’ parade in Le Mans. The most beautiful cars are carefully selected for the show in front of the terrace. After great applauses, the Chanteloup’s Dream Team offers an aperitif to its hosts, and then, the show must go on in music while respecting every one’s sleep !
