Vesoul is the capital of Haute-Saône département, in the Franche-Comté région. Michelin says: Vesoul not only boasts fine town houses, which reflect the periods of peace it enjoyed during the Renaissance, the 18C and 19C and the inter-war period in the 20C; the prefecture of Haute-Saône is also an ideal base for exploring the quiet landscapes of the middle valley of the Saône.

Specialities: Fish or poultry in Vesoul sauce, cancoillotte (melted cheese), Sainte-Catherine spiced breads
Troyes: Michelin says: The historic centre has often lopsided half-timbered houses and streets so narrow that objects can be passed from house to opposite house... Troyes is a city of art, with old mansions, museums, and ten listed churches boasting stained glass from the 12C to the 20C. It has long been the French hosiery capital and the city retains a number of renowned manufacturers.
Specialities: Champagne (second department in terms of production), rosé des Riceys, tripe, sauerkraut cabbage, cheese (Chaource, Champ sur Barse and Mussy)
The stage: Christian Prudhomme's comment
The sprint purists will have dissected and appreciated the possible scenario dictated on this flat stage by the teams of the best specialists. Riding through the Plateau de Langres, and passing through Colombeyles-Deux-Églises, the chase of the escapees should be perfectly planned. It'll then be the turn of the lead out trains to take command on the large avenues of the centre of Troyes.
Live: Another sprint stage. You may be sensing a trend, as there are many in this year's race. Another likely to be doomed breakaway featuring
Backaert, Quéméneur and Laengen.
Once again, the Peloton doesn't want to offer the Break much breathing room.— letourdata (@letourdata) July 6, 2017

Along they went, rolling, rolling rolling.
Speaking of rolling, it has been a quiet stage today. Time for a cute animal video:

On Podium Cafe, the chat has turned to cricket, crochet and poetry.
And so it went, as the kilometers ticked awa to the sprint.

Wine: Jacques Lassaigne Colline Inspire NV - From Copake Wine
From the importer: Jacques Lassaigne is a 4.7-hectare family vineyard located in Montgueux. The vineyards boast prime southeastern exposure and consist entirely of Chardonnay. The Montgueux vineyard sites were originally held for the Montrachet of Champagne and are located near the gates of Troyes—the former capital of Champagne. This area is technically part of the Aube department, but is much further north than what people typically think of as the Aube, in the Cote des bars which features wines often primarily made from Pinot Meunier. The terroir in Montgueux is nearly identical to the growing sites found further north in le Mesnil, as they share the same limestone vein —this is exceptional terroir for making great champagne. An intense backbone of acidity is often present in these wines, but since it is located further south than the storied Cotes des blancs, ripening is not as much of an issue.
The unique path of the Colline Inspirée is that it is vinified and aged entirely in barrel. This process does not add any oak flavoring to the wine as the barrels are old. What it does add is a sumptuous essence of oxidation, similar to a fine aged white burgundy.
Food: Chaource cheese
Cheese.com tells me that Chaource is a soft cheese made from cow’s milk in the village of Chaoruce, France. It has a soft-ripened, creamy and a little bit crumbly texture. Surrounded by a white Penicillium candidum rind, it takes 2-3 months to ripen completely. Many people like to eat young Chaource, when its rind is hardly formed whereas others eat after it attains full maturation.
During its ageing time, the cheese has a bit salty, buttery and fruity taste. Together with 50% fat, it also contains animal rennet. Paired with wines like Chablis, Champagne, Sancerre and White.
