I hope so as I'm about to do it.
The alcohol in the previews is most likely cider as that region of France is a major cider producer, especially something called calvados, a distilled apple brandy. It's also home to two French national stud farms (horse breeding).
Pit stop Juno Beach perhaps? Be a fitting place! Would love it to be Vimy Ridge, but that's a nearly 350km drive (and we know they're self driving in the previews). Is there any precedent in other versions of having teams drive that far in a single leg?

TAR4 Le Mans to Marseilles: 892 km.

Multiple legs in TAR8 had lots of long selfdriving segments

Veteran Jim Parks will greet the teams at Juno Beach. Yes it does say this will be the finish line for this leg. Parks landed there on D-Day. Everyone better have some Kleenex handy!
The article also explains production's agenda to have Canadian connections on international legs.

Great choice for a Pit Stop, and Greeter. I can tell from that article that they really wanted this leg to be something special to Canada :)

I knew that would attract your attention Maanca! LOL That explains why they released the information ahead of the show...even though the pit stop location and the greeter's connection was a given anyways.
TAR789:
Do we see Ryan & Rob in any of the promos? Hoping that it's just because of their non existing edit, and not them missing their flight to France, resulting in coming in last place.
In the new promo on Facebook, there's a pic of Mont Saint Michel, which is 78 miles southwest of Caen.
