Been in France in these months and never had a problem with accomodation "out in the sticks." I only book if we are staying 4-5 days on the med. Bag a nice hotel by the beach to chill out. Apart from that there is loads of choice and accomodation. If I want a chain place (soaked to the skin usually) i go for Ibis. Obviously, the earlier you look for digs (say 4pm) the less possible probs you will encounter.

We usually head to Dijon after the ferry then cut into Switzerland on more than decent roads (N5 to Nyon,) then towards Geneva down the side of Lake Geneva and into the Alps. (Annecy is gorgeous)

Is there a reason you are just skirting the edge of the Alps? Best riding in Europe. Off season in the Hotels etc. All the really high passes open. (Not so even in late June)
