As a UK citizen you have the right to live in France, so no problem. We rented a room in a tourist hotel for a month and reception did us a paper stating we lived there.
In the Departement Alpes Maritimes at least you don't even need proof of residence. When you fill in the rego form you are at the same time signing an affidavit as to your address. It doesn't say anywhere how long you have to live there. For the insurance, however, you need an address where you can receive mail.
You can even register a vehicle by mail. I have done it.
I don't know whether it is the same in other departements...
