Destination unknown ! France middle bit

[Berin]

I'm off in the morning for five nights in Pontarlier, with routes planned similar to one of your days. We have a night in Troyes on the way and a night in Verdun on the way back.

Never been to Pontarlier and we're staying in the Ibis in town. Hopefully enough places to walk to for evening meals. We'll be out riding during the day. B&B Hotels in Troyes and Verdun - hoping they're not as theft ridden as similar places in Reims...

Don’t be fooled in to eating Andouilette de Troyes.

It seems like it might be a nice bit of sausage but it isn’t

Just stayed in the Hotel de Cirques in Troyes on recent trip.
Brilliant location hotel ok ( Logis ) garages available. Eat @ La Boucherie or something like that - superb food!
