hey, I dont know if you've left already so this may be no use.
But I just cycled 500 miles through france. We caught the eurostar to paris, cycled to Dijon, then Limoges. We camped sauvage and it is totally possible - I worried I wa being a bit naive in thinking that there would be places to sleep off the beaten track, but there was. The best thing to do is look for water as you can generally find unused bits of land, and you can have a wash as well.
We couldnt have survived without tents, sleeping bags, cooking stuff, deodorant, several padded shorts, eco shower gel, toothbrush and paste, waterproofs, map, zip ties, pump, repair kit.
You DONT need to bring 3 summer dresses, more than 2 t-shirts, make-up, felt tip pens
( I learnt the hard way)
