Yeah, Formule 1 are fine. Only problem is secure parking for the bike overnight. The Formule 1 chain tend to be close to main routes and are an attraction for passing tealeaves. We sometimes stay in small rural hotels, especially if it's very wet. They often have a secure garage that they're very happy to let you use for free. We just take a book of campsites for the countries we're visiting and choose one to head for around mid afternoon, when we can estimate how far we feel like going that day. "Municipal" campsites in France are well run and have good basic facilities. They're cheap too!!
