N85 "Route de Napoleon" from Grenoble to Riviera quite nice one way, or over La Bonnette and back routes to Nice... Franco no doubt can give you full info on that area and supply pics....

Indeed the countyside from Grenoble to The coast is very spectacular. Buy a map and check out some of the D roads. Absolutley Fabulous and less cars. And probably less likely to get zapped by the police.

The french by the way are picking up on speed cameras on busy dual carriage roads in the south as well as north. So sticking to normal N and D roads is a good idea. And obviously the place to be whilst on holiday riding a GS.

Should be OK...

We toured from the south back up to Dieppe over five days without killing ourselves. Might make a decent route down. Normandy (good) to Loire valley (good) to Massif Central (brilliant) to south coast, then op the valley past Avignon to the Alps and home...

Champagne and Burgundy areas are worth a look. Scenery around Epernay is lovely (there's a Logis hotel in Moussy which has a super restaurant). Auberge Champenoise

Southern part of Burgundy is also very pretty (around the Beaujolais villages).

I'd be tempted to blast on the Autoroute from the Channel to stop in either Reims or Moussy and then take day 2 at a more leisurely pace around Chablis, Cote d'Or and Beaujolais.

Day 3 - head for the Alps.
