Nestling in the gently rolling wooded countryside about 30 miles to the NE of Paris is the picturesque Circuit des Ecuyers. The nearest town is Chateau Thierry some 4 kms to the South West. The setting within the substantial grounds of a private estate, which includes and equestrian centre, is tranquil and sheltered by surrounding dense woodland. Facilities are brand new and well appointed with a hospitality room for guests including wcs.

The track has a good variety of corners, mainly taken in third gear but with a couple of quick 4th gear corners thrown in for good measure. The circuit designer has managed to achieve an interesting and challenging mix of corners aided by the varying gradients of the sloping site. There are some unusual cambers and the odd minor bump to catch out the unwary. Run off is generous and the trees are far away.
A perfect trackday facility in an unspoilt part of northern France within easy reach of Calais and close to the Champagne region . Well worth a visit.
NOTE: This track is so new it doesn't even show up on Google Earth or the maority of online mapping sites!
Closest Fuel Station
Is in Fere en Tardennois, just over 4 miles (6.5km) from the circuit.
Turn right out of the circuit towards “Beuvardes”. At the cross roads in Beuvardes, turn right. After 4km pass though Villemoyenne. Fere en Tardenois is 2.5km further, on the same road. The fuel station is on the right as you enter the village."
Accommodation in the Area
Campanile, Best Western and Ibis are all available from Chateau Tierry about 7km away.
The Champagne cities of Reims and Epernay are within 30 mins drive and offer a huge range of hotels.
If you're doing an Abbeville/Ecuyers double header, and coming from Abbeville, then Soissons is an ideal stop off.
