Depends on which part of France you're heading for, and how long. Get a Michelin map, avoid autoroutes except for the A75 down to Millau, its mad! As a bit of a generalisation main N roads can the ones with more police especially near big towns, D roads are more fun but slower, the yellow D roads are better than the white D roads.
Any roads marked with a green border are more scenic and usually better for biking, and look for the obvious clues, squiggly roads on maps=more bends as do hills and mountains.
N roads are like our A roads
D roads are like our B roads.
Sorry, don't mean to insult your intelligence if you know all this. really depends on where you're heading and how long you've got, and how many miles you wanna cover.
Enjoy
p.s. Have a look at "the alternative tour de france post" for a few clues.
