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.

I 'liked' that but really there isn't a 'smite' button big enough ...

Once you get past the faint whiff of piss they're really very tasty

I will never, ever get over my horror of the andouilette 'sausages'

I'm in a place called Marboz at the moment, I think I've just ordered the squid, maybe.

I think it might be octopus, tastes nice either way.

Troyes is alright so far, the beer is half the price we paid in Annecy

When I was in Sarlat-le-Caneda recently the bar in the main square was selling Guinness for a tenner. No I don't know why you would choose Guinness on a hot day in the SofF either, but just saying ...

Petrol is cheaper than in France for the first time in the 10 years I've been going there

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

Had 191 just outside of Dieppe on Saturday for e10

Not always - but they are definitely stupid silly in tourist areas. And Annecy is one of the top tourist areas, especially in the summer

And I know, they aren't 20p a pint like on the beach on your island

I noticed, that's why you need the seat

I'm the opposite I have hipster brown gloves and a black jacket. Sure it looks right shit.

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.

Courchevel at the weekend apparently.

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