Troyes is lovely, architecture very different from the South.
Troyes is best known for being a major manufacturer of street furniture : lampposts and the like.

Fuel prices are all over the shop, Supermarkets are late 190's, locals are 213ish and the Motorways are just stupid at 225.

Re: Euro (Fronch) Trip
Everyone else I've seen on ADV bikes have the full matching adventure suits on. Not that I've seen many this trip, Harley's out number everything at least 15-1.
I did the two finger wave thing at a group of four pan America's and they didn't wave back.
I think there must have been some massive HD gathering somewhere as there was so many of them.

Some of the 'locals' lower down in Bozel were whimpering a bit online about the noise of all the Harleys!!
