Looks interesting.
Jonathan & Andy went a few years ago and said it was a good weekend.

It's a great event. I've been a couple of times.
A fun event, if you decide to go.
maybe not

What you guys on?
I'm on a '77 Guzzi T3, ferry Hull-Zeebrugge Wed, down through the Ardennes with an overnight stop en route. Coming back via west of Paris to Dieppe for Newhaven ferry Tues.
Not camping, staying somewhere just south of Dijon.

86 800g/s or 76 le mans or 77 convert. one still in bits, two sans MOT so it's wide open at the moment. maybe even the modern GSA? 
crossing to caen wednesday night, returning monday evening.
accommodation wide open too. normally stay in dijon but will be staying outside the city somewhere as yet undecided.

I'll be on a GS1200 The Commando and the Bonnie aren't running
Picking up a 77 Z1000 this week but don't think it would be a good idea to take that yet.
Looking forward to it sounds great

Just a tip from my experience ,organise accommodation before you go if you want to stay somewhere reasonably close by.

Thought you could camp there................at least that was our plan
the onsite camping there was pretty dire when i first attended some 5 years or so ago.
i put my tent up, but then got a call from a mate with room in a dijon hotel. i bailed and was glad i did.
also, it gets pretty muddy there when it rains, which it generally does at some point.
i'll probably try and sort accommodation tomorrow. i'm not fussed about being in dijon, or that close.

The year I went I spoke to some guys that were camping and they said it was awful , no facilities whatsoever and the froggies were partying till dawn making one hell of a row. They packed up after one night and went elsewhere.

Duly noted cheers
how right you are. just booked a hotel. took hours to find one and could not be said to be close by.
on the positive side, it does look a nice road in
Booked mine in Feb but even then was toiling to get anywhere close by, not helped by being Billy-no-mates on my tod.
Ended up with Hotel Hermes in Couchey which is about 15 miles south of circuit.
Let's hope for some decent weather, it's been poxy up here the last while

For any bods going in the future.
If there is a bunch of you going, it may be worthwhile (and quite cheap) to hire a gite between you all. There may well be a pretty good selection around the region and (for sure) plenty of good roads to ride if you wanted to take a longer break.
Gite de France are the bods to contact. Very helpful on the phone and speak first class English. Alternatively, try the local tourist office, who are very useful too.
