Rallye Académie runs rally driving courses and testing on circuits around Alès, including the Circuit des Plannes (Saint‑Brès) and the Pôle Mécanique near Alès. Programs cover terre (gravel) and asphalte stages and are aimed at both beginners and competitive drivers.

The team is led by Éric Fabre and uses BPJEPS‑qualified instructors; services include stage coaching, pre‑race testing and driver preparation rather than tourist rides. Check the official site for current course dates and booking details.

Practical, coach‑led driving sessions on short rally test circuits and mixed terre/asphalte stages close to Alès.

Look out for:

• Short gravel (terre) and asphalt test loops configured in 1.5–3 km school layouts.

• One‑on‑one or small‑group coaching from instructors with BPJEPS Sport Auto qualifications.

• Options for technique coaching, pre‑race testing and pilot career support rather than sightseeing drives.

• Use of the Circuit des Plannes (Saint‑Brès) for terre stages and Pôle Mécanique for asphalt work.

Best way to experience it:

Book a focused coaching session or test day through the official site, arrive with closed‑toe shoes and basic driving licence documentation, and plan for a full day if combining gravel and asphalt modules.

• Sessions are coach‑led and targeted at learning or testing, not passenger thrill rides.

• Courses run on dedicated circuits near Saint‑Brès and the Pôle Mécanique (near Alès).

• Instructors hold BPJEPS Sport Auto certification; expect structured feedback and video/debrief when offered.

• Confirm available dates, vehicle options and any licence/insurance requirements with Rallye Académie before arrival.
