Reviving this comment as am currently in Normandy with my gravel bike and can indeed confirm the riding is excellent here. Using the "OSM Cycle" map later on RWGPS the gravel tracks are marked either as footpaths (dashed brown lines) or double-dashed lanes. The street signs here mostly reference them as "Chemin de..." But that can be anything from unsealed road to gnarly 20% rooted paths strewn with loose rocks, which keeps things interesting. Some can be quite overgrown but sadly/fortunately not come across any wild boar yet and the worst has been some excessive bramble snags.
My main concern was that the marked tracks would be private, as is often the case for the same markings in the UK. But that has been totally unfounded, and indeed I've barely seen a soul while on the bike, punctuated by the occasional "bonjour" from passing walkers.

The brown dashed are footpaths. you would be able to engage, but in the case of a breton coastal singletrack i wouldn't recommend it.
The white dashed lines will be farm/exploitation tracks. Most likely you would be fine though it could be fenced with no entry signs as it doesnt come with a right of way. Also they don't "connect" as well as in the Uk so you might find that it doesnt help progression on a long distance ride.
The vibe depends on the place in france. Somewhere remote would be fine, vineyards areas would depend on season, etc.
to give some substance in case you're interested, in france the medieval structure has disappeared due to famous events, but also all farmland was rationnalised and redistributed after the war. the was a big game of swaparoo wherever possible. So there isn't an equivalent to old roman roads and cycle routes are down to local and greater (eurovelos) initiatives.
this map gives you the pedestrian GRs, which could be cycled.
