Beauséjour

Camping BeauSéjour is in Sergines, a village in the Yonne in Burgundy, about fifteen kilometres from Sens. Provins is 35 km away, Nogent-sur-Seine 25 km and Pont-sur-Yonne 7 km. The site is rated 3 stars and the team describes it as a quiet, family-friendly place that opens onto the landscapes of the Icaunais.

The website lists 19 rental units and 36 pitches. The rental accommodation includes mobile homes with one to three bedrooms (for 2 to 6 people), among them a three-bedroom model with reversible air conditioning, as well as two-bedroom chalets (4 people) and three-bedroom chalets (6 people, air conditioning and washing machine). The marked, electrified pitches measure at least 80 m², with a 16 A socket and a water point nearby.

The campsite says it welcomes guests all year round, with no announced closure period, and its price lists show no seasonal break: rental units and pitches can therefore also be booked in autumn and winter. No information is published about heating in the accommodation or the washrooms, which is worth asking about before a winter stay. Reception answers the phone from 9am to 8pm and receives guests on site from 5pm to 8pm.

The village shops are a ten-minute walk away: a convenience store, a bakery, a delicatessen, pizzerias and a pharmacy.

Visits to Sens (15 km), the Camille Claudel museum in Nogent-sur-Seine (25 km) and the medieval town of Provins (35 km).

On site, the campsite has a grocery and bar area, a spacious washroom block suitable for people with reduced mobility, a laundry and barbecues open to all. Campers will also find a children’s play area and a well-kept pétanque court. The website mentions neither wifi nor a swimming pool, and there are no water facilities on the grounds.

For pitches, expect to pay 12 € a night for a tent with two people, 17 € for a motorhome or caravan with two people, and 3 € for electricity; the tourist tax is 1 € per person per night. Motorhome owners have a waste water disposal point and a water point close to their pitch.

Rental units start at 45 € a night for a one-bedroom mobile home, 55 € for two bedrooms, 75 € for three bedrooms, 80 € with air conditioning, and 75 € for a two-bedroom chalet. The three-bedroom chalet with air conditioning and washing machine costs 100 € a night. Linen is rented separately: 10 € per person for sheets, duvets and pillows, 5 € for towels and tea towels, and a cleaning fee of 50 € per stay.

The village of Sergines completes the offer with a convenience store, a bakery, a delicatessen, two pizzerias, a pharmacy, play areas and a skate park. The campsite does not specify which services run in winter; the grocery-bar and the laundry are presented with no seasonal restriction.

On the site, children have a play area and adults a pétanque court. From the village, a 15 km walk sets out in search of the lady’s slipper, a wild orchid: the route can be picked up at the campsite reception.

Outings are then made by car. Pont-sur-Yonne, 7 km away, has its fishing ponds and a market on Wednesdays and Sundays. Sens, 15 km away, invites you to have a drink on a terrace facing Saint-Étienne cathedral or to stroll in the Parc du Moulin à Tan. Nogent-sur-Seine, 25 km away, is home to the Camille Claudel museum, and the château de La Motte-Tilly is close by. Provins, 35 km away, is a medieval town listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The website also suggests the château de Fontainebleau, the Musée de la Vie d’autrefois, bowling and laser game in Sens, an introductory flight in Gisy-les-Nobles and karting in Soucy. Most of these visits do not depend on the good weather, which suits a stay in autumn or winter; the campsite itself offers no organised entertainment and announces none in winter.
