We find a close examination of the 1:200,000 Michelin maps will usually find a decent ride on quiet roads in France. Look for the wriggly roads they're usually hilly and interesting. If you want off-road routes then the IGN 1:100,000 maps are quite good except I'm not a fan of the shaded contours they favour.

Otherwise, in many areas of France most newsagents in small towns and some villages have local cycle route guides.

Since retiring we've bought a campervan and spend 4 weeks in May/June randomly touring France and we just play it by ear and we've rarely been disappointed. It's just an aided cycle tour really. France is the best cycle touring country we've visited.
