The clue is in the title, we are heading to Italy in late July and are thinking our stopover in France enroute to Italy could be somewhere south of Dijon travelling on the A39.
Does anybody have tips of handy places, car parks, rural spots that would suit us for a night on the road?
Cheers

Out of interest, where abouts in Italy are you going?
I have travelled via Dijon in the past, and continued towards Geneva and then the Simplon Pass - coach not motorhome.

Buon giorno Blunders,
I would suggest you subscribe - only a tenner - less than the cost of many guide books. You will then have access to the site data base amongst other things. To me sounds like you want to go too far in one day if you intend to get to Dijon. Many many places to choose from between Calais and Dijon.
saluti,

Hi Russell, Our initial destination is Pisa, then a random tour of Tuscany ending up near Rome for a few nights. I have seen a couple a decent looking sites which have rail access close by, idea for venturing into Rome.

Hi eddied
what are you suggesting I subscrbe to?
I am sure there plenty of place between Calais and Dijon and as a first time overseas in our motorhome we could easily be distracted by many places and never end up in Italy, so focus we must and make a note of interesting places to return too on our next grand tour.

Here is a link - in English - to the Trenitalia website.

Out of interest, a coach firm I worked for used to always use the Dijon area as an overnight stop for destinations you mention. It is about 800 miles from Calais to Pisa. It is fairly pricey on tolls though.

Wow! That's exactly the trip we've planned, well kinda planned!! We're hoping to land in Calais around July 1st and then travel straight down to Pisa. It's our first time heading to Italy I've just started to look at sites, we never book but like to have a rough idea!!
