This is in French but you can translate easily enough. Gives specific rules for national parks etc and has suggestions where you can camp in different areas. If you don't NEED a specific mileage per day, then just chop the route up into bits and then stop when feels right.

Oh, and thank you all for the tips on routes and the like. It’s really really helpful.
Think I’ll start doing some route planning starting in Paris and moving out towards Lyon.
One problem I encountered the last time I tried planning routes was that I wasn’t sure where to end.
Obviously if planning to end in a town it makes sense to spend a night in a hostel/hotel but for a lot of the days I’d like to end somewhere I can camp.
So for France in particular, what’s the vibe on camping. If I end the days riding in say, a national park, is it possible (and legal) to pitch up somewhere away out of sight?
