St. Pol was good for visiting in the evenings after the racing.

Sadly, I gather the MSA put an end to UK clubs organising meetings at Croix which was a pity as HSCC, in particular, did a good job. However, individual race series such as the 500cc F3's and the English Ford people are still able to come.
The rooftop viewing is still in use & very popular. The circuit has been very slightly modified at one of the hairpins, adding just a few metres to the circuit length. As you say, St Pol is very good for an evening out, Hesdin probably even better although a little further to travel.
