The Select Motor Tours bus took us to the city center of Le Mans for the Drivers Parade which is one of the highlights of the race week. The parade started at Place des Jacobins, near the Cathedral of Saint Julian of Le Mans, around 5.30 pm, and finished from where it started around 7.30 pm. It was the first time I’d been to the drivers parade, and was amazing how many people lined the streets. The parade had an amazing atmosphere with festive spirit, drivers, dancers, marching bands, vintage cars, Supercars, and everything else that was going on. It was great to see the smiles on everyones faces and to see they were having a good time. Hope you like the photos.
