I fully concour with simon.
You did not specify what kind of sights.. Make use of D roads, do not get confused about the numbering though, the d stands for Department which is similar to a county in UK. So you will see the same numbers croppping up on different roads in different departments, but the roads will be unrelated ( usually ). Unlike teh uk, France mostly kept the old A and B road system when it built the motorway network. The result is those old charming roads are nearly empty of non local traffic.
From 12 till 2pm everyone stops for lunch. if you see a nondescript building with loads of lorries parked around it at that time, it is probably a 'relais' truckers resturant. There you will get a very good multicourse lunch of peasant fare for around 10 euros. Excellent value, but dont be late.
