Hi
I have been there a few years back and can,t remember the road number but the main straight is the main drag from from Reims to Paris, and it is a very straight straight, Bill

The main part that still exists is the start/finish grandstands and pit complex which is to the west of Reims either side of the main road between the N31 and Gueux.

It's an amazing place with bags of atmosphere.....well worth a stop off!
