Stop over in France

We are travelling from the Swiss Alps to Paris and would like to break up the journey somewhere for a night. Places that seem to be about mid point are Dijon, Auralion, Auxere, Toucy, Beaune. We'd like a small quaint french town with nice cafes to have breakfast before heading on to Paris. These places may be huge a they show up on google maps so alternative suggestions gratefully received!

Are you driving or taking the train? We loved Beaune...lovely wine town with great food and wine. Also easy to drive in and out of as well.

I second Beaune - really pretty village, excellent restaurant choices, atmospheric wine tasting in the Marche aux Vins, while the Musee de l'Hotel-Dieu and the Hospice de Beaune are worth a visit too.

I agree with Beaune.

I hope this isn't a rental car, because a pickup in Switzerland and a drop-off in France will cost a pretty penny.

I also agree with Beaune.. definitely fits your criteria !
I don't know what budget you have for your accommodation, but I once stayed at the Hotel de la Cloche in Beaune in the city center. It was lovely.
