Le Mans: the circuit and the museum
The 24 Hours, and the museum next to the track where the legends live.
Le Mans is a town, a circuit and a race, and the race is the one every driver wants on their record. The Musée des 24 Heures by the main gate has the winning cars, and parts of the Mulsanne Straight are public road you can drive any day.
Race week is a madhouse. Any other week you can stand at the start line and have it to yourself.
