We used Troyes and Beaune last year on our way to the Ardeche. Troyes site is within walking distance and of the town.In our opinion it was fine but did not use their toilets or shower facilities as they looked quite “rustic”.Site was an easy access from autoroute.The town with the wooden structures is very interesting, also bumped into Rick Stein filming.

Thanks for the recommendations. Troyes sounds good.
A few years back we used Ferme de la Croissée which is ACSI rated just over 6! I think because there is nothing there. It has the advantage of being very close to the Autoroute. A modest site to say the least but I don’t recall what the sanitary facilities were like. At least the pitches had hedge separation.

The site I referred to in Langres is Camping Navarre. As DK says, its on the battlements with good views over the surrounding area. It’s only a short walk into the town centre (a lot nearer than the centre of Troyes is from their old municipal site but the architecture of Langres is not as attractive as Troyes)

We have used Croix d'Arles (about 5kms south of Langres on the D974) several times and have always found it good for an overnight stop or even a couple of nights.
There is easy access from the a31(j6).
The site is in 2 parts, the front section nearest the entrance is fairly open and does get busy, also road noise.
However there is a wooded section further away from the road which we prefer and is usually almost empty (outwards late May returning late June).
Langres is well worth a visit.

Camping Navarre is an idea overnight stop. Just roll in and park up. The very amiable, multi-lingual warden opens the office at 5pm. You can't use the toilet block until you've booked in and have been given the keypad code. Free wifi but again you need the code. Walk in to town, or walk the city wall: it's a pleasant site for an overnight or few night stop.
It's 70 miles north of Beaune.

We have used both the one at Troyes and the one at Langres.Both are good but we personally found it very hard accessing the one at Langres.The one at Troyes has basic but clean facilities and a pleasant atmosphere.There is also a good bus service just outside the campsite and there was, probably still is,a decent sized supermarket very close by.Troyes has an excellent market.

Today we zoomed down a lorry-free A26 from Calais to Arcis sur Aube, 240 miles from Calais. Camping de l'Ile Cherlieu is good overnight stop not far from the péage. Short walk to town centre, but raining cars and dogs. It's not far north of Troyes so worth considering.
our new bip and go tag is wonderful!
