If you want a good ride down through France then try the D964 from Sedan to Neafchatel then the Route des Grandes Alpes from Thonon-les-Bains to Menton near Monaco. The route round the coast is very boring and, in summer, very busy. The Cevennes is worth a visit.
If you enjoyed the Alps then take an extra day or two and do the Pyrennes, sticking as closely as you can to the D918, before heading down for the ferry.
Do you still plan to try to get across to Egypt and Turkey from Dakar or ride or ship your bike back? When do you plan on going? The more specific you get with your plans and questions, the better answers you'll get.
