Head west to Portugal & then north along the coast in to Spain. Vigo, Santiago de Compostela & La Coruna are worth visiting as are the Picos de Europa for the roads & the views. Plenty of good campsites in Spain. Cheap Pensions in the Picos also.
Cudillero & San Vicente de la Barquera, both on the coast & west of Santander also have good camping. If you like eating fish, Cudillero is the place to go, 20 (fresh from the sea) fish restaurants to choose from.
We stopped off at Zarautz for two nights for a days surfing, good campsite on the hill to the east of the main beach.
Stick to the N roads in France or you'll miss all the rural sights. The N10 from Spain to Bordeaux is flat, straight & boring. Better off heading in to the Pyrenees, Andorra for cheap bike gear & then heading north via Limoges & Angers etc.
Mont St. Michel is also worth a look (I'm there next week)if there's not too many tourists.
Good luck.
