Default Paris Racetrack?

Anyone remember reading this in a magazine over the last few months? I think there was an article in Bike, but could have been Ride. It was about a public racetrack that the French opened just outside Paris. Iirc it was opened to allow the boy racers somewhere to go after a series of deaths on public roads. The journalist went there and it sounded pretty good!
(I'm going to be that way in a few weeks so I'd like to go)
I just need the name of the place so I can google it
tA very much (fingers crossed somebody knows)

they can't even control their cars at 30mph in the "Le ASDA" car park, what makes you think it's going to be any safer with them on a racetrack?

I've heard about it.

Isn't it free to use? And supposed to be a good little circuit for smaller bikes (France having 100bhp limit).

So the SV's should be great round there? There were saying R1's etc usually get out of 3rd.
