That's pretty much what I thought, but I want to take any suggestions,
too.

In some parts of France that criterion does not always guarantee good
asphalt. Or asphalt itself.

As Domenec says, Hotel La Morera. You might get a few more ideas from
Days 8 to 11 here.

Depending on your route up through France, you might be interested in a stay
at our mates' place near[1] Limoges, nice Gite that sleeps 4 (double
bedroom, double sofabed in the lounge), they're both of the motorcycling
persuasion and can show you some nice (wiggly, well-surfaced, quiet in the
week) roads up into the lakes and mountains national park nearby - email me
off-board if you might be interested?

ride from Limoges itself, towards Claremont-Ferrand

Not to mention paysans herding cattle on the road, which gets you
suddenly riding in the middle of cows. Which is acceptable until a
bull appears among the cows and it spots you are a large moving red
point. YZF1000R San Fermines Edition.
