Hotels in Magny-Cours

Magny-Cours is a tiny village in the Nièvre, deep in rural Burgundy, that gave its name to the Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours — a former French Grand Prix venue that now hosts the World Superbike French round and a busy testing calendar.

The village itself offers a handful of beds and little else, which is why Nevers, the pleasant old cathedral town on the Loire about 15 minutes north, is the standard base with the bulk of the hotel stock. The surrounding countryside soaks up race crowds better than most, but superbike weekend still fills Nevers, so book ahead. Come with a car: public transport to the circuit is effectively non-existent.
