+1 for Mont St Michel, best of the lot is to arrive mid/late afternoon when the tourist buses are on their way out, and things are much quieter. Stroll round the place and then as the sun starts setting head back out onto the causeway and settle down to watch the lights come on.
There's campsites nearby,in Pontourson, and a YHA but they're not the cheapest, and very set up for caravans/campers, but hey for one night it's worth it.
BUT just looked at the weather forecast and for the next ten days or so It looks like rain in the north and showers in the south, so maybe best to blast down south as quick as possible, check out the Millau viaduct, maybe the Pyrennees, have a paddle in the Med, chase after Cathars, and relax, then wind your way back up the Atlantic coast, Angouleme can be interesting, Bordeaux of course, then up to the Loire, into Brittany, then MSM and then home.
Or just find a quaint village and take up residence at the bar for a week.
