Camping Beauséjour

If your main aim is to spend time in the open air, you’ll have plenty of options nearby – perhaps fishing in nearby rivers and lakes, clambering up into the trees at Jumping Forest (half an hour’s drive), riding the tracks of the Cyclo-rail de Puisaye (50 minutes) or walking through the Forêt d’Orient Regional Natural Park (an hour). Strolling around towns is a rewarding pursuit around here as well – the closest place of size is Sens (15 minutes), and it’s a lovely place where you can visit the cathedral and museum, shop at the covered market and explore the tropical greenhouses of Moulin à Tan Park. Nogent-sur-Seine and Villeneuve-sur-Yonne (both 25 minutes) are both great options if you’d like a riverside walk. A little further afield, your travels could take you for wanders in Auxerre or Troyes (both an hour), or even to Paris (around an hour and a half). Other grand days out nearby include the lavish Château de Fontainebleau (45 minutes) and the Palace of Versailles (an hour and a half), one of the most-visited historic sites in the world.
