I'd say you could take one of two approaches. If you send it listed as a gift they probably won't pay it any attention, I get plenty of stuff from overseas and if the gift box is ticked I've never had to pay VAT either in the UK or Germany, I guess France is similar. Even obviously commercial products from China...
The powers that be seem to be more concerned with getting companies to do the paperwork properly than inspecting packets.
Or you could declare everything on the packet, just put on a note in French explaining that you are shipping your used moto gear for a tour and will ship it back when done. Include copies of the receipts inside.
Or go for a mix of the two, say nothing on the package, mark it as a gift and hope it all goes through uninspected, but include a polite note inside with copies of receipts.
