To those that were wondering,

 

450km is 280 miles in old money

Have you made prior arrangements to visit Reims, I seem to recall they had banned visitors just turning up .

I will see if I can find out if this is true.

Seems boy racers had been causing problems for the locals.

Though wheels need a good clean 😱

You are going to have to leave it like now, as a reminder of the trip. ala Le Mans winners.

Well done 👍, I did wonder when I found that link this morning, how are they going to police that?, can't have someone there 24/7 surely...

circa 280km covered today. Mixture of dual carriageway, slower villages and empty country roads. Even found some ‘rude’ sun flowers.

 

 

 

At our 3rd and final hotel in France.  Ordered 4 large cold beers on arrival (what else is there🥱). They managed two pints before the barrel ran dry and the two members of staff couldn’t change it, so two of us got small Bottles of Europop. 1hr drive in the morning should have us at the first war museum.

Isn’t this a conflict of interest?
