We're heading to the Dordogne via Troyes.
Any ideas on where to stop with the van? Preferably wild and watery, but I know that can be more difficult in France.
 
If its a late crossing then Bergues , just inland from Dunkirk has a nice free parking place at the sports ground. No services mind
 
Have you consulted the POIs?

There's extensive coverage of France (and Portugal and Spain) with many locations alongside canals, rivers and lakes.
 
France is great.
19 days so far no fees! Even for fresh water ! Grey water and cassette dumping all good. Excellent recycling and other dry waste facilities.
S5S also good.
Fuel cheaper than Uk.
Intermarche SuperU Leclerk Aldi Lidl and markets.
Roads largely traffic free.
Speed limits a minor pain, some as low as 30 kph and some very grumpy sleeping Gendarmes aka speed humps. We have not so far had to move on because the aire was full
We have politely declined a few !
Ps We set our TomTom to avoid Tolls as we have the time and are happy to (French) poodle. Most days under 100miles !

Not at all, as the late member Wintonian would often point out, unless it is specifically signposted otherwise you are free to overnight wherever it is legal to park in France
