I don't know of anywhere in France but how about Switzerland - i've rented loads of stuff from these guys and they service my GS.
www.arrigoni.ch - in zürich
can get expensive though, looking at 50-100USD a day, is cheaper for longer rentals, limit 300km a day.
They rent BMWs and Suzukis

Here's another rental source in Zurich, they service my ST1100 so I can vouch for them, the motorcycles they rent are in perfect condition and all less than one year old: Heidelberger Honda Center. I will say without hesitation that this is the finest Honda dealer in the world, I won't let anyone else service my motorcycle.
Being Swiss, they are expensive, but you certainly do get what you pay for. I was given a Hornet 900 (free) from the rental fleet last month when my ST was in for routine service, and the Hornet only had 71 km total on it when they gave it to me.
They have some off road bikes, but mainly specialize in street bikes. Note that you get a 20% rate reduction from the daily rates if you rent for 6 days or more. The people there are very pleasant, it is a family business. Mr. Heidelberger himself speaks English, but if you do any written or telephone contact with the company, best to do it in German or French, which is what everyone else speaks.
