I have been living in Marseille all summer and decided to see more of the rest of France. I'll be driving and wining through Rhone Valley and spending 2 nights and one full day in Lyon. From there I'll leave early in the morning (the 17th of August) and will need to arrive in Reims by 4pm. I know that means I'll be taking toll roads, but do I have time to quickly see anything along my way, and if so, what are some suggestions that won't take too long along that route?

If you will drive the car , then you can stay for more time. Its not necessaries that you would love all the places. It would be best if you visit before planning.

Both Troyes and Langres are pretty cute.

Besides its old town, Troyes has a nice cathedral and an interesting tool museum.

My vote goes to Troyes as well.

We enjoyed a stop for lunch and a walk in Troyes when we drove from Beaune to Reims last year. We even had time for a short visit of the cathedral. Lunch was quick and good at the Crêperie la Tourelle.

Reims Cathedral is continuing its illuminations this year through September 23rd.

Here a link to some photos of Troyes and Reims, and a link to the Reims Tourism website about the illuminations. I thought they were very impressive.

We would recommend Dijon - a nice historical town in the wine region of Bourgogne / Burgundy and renowned for the eponymous mustard. Their official tourist website is http://www.visitdijon.com/en/
