We never book anything at those times, usually we're away from the end of May until about the 7th of July, or thereabouts. We've always got in at the sites we wanted, and if you're not too fussed anyway, there's always another site not far away.....
That's the beauty of touring in France, enjoy!!
Also, look at Camping Cheques and ACSI, they can save you a lot of money, in case you are new to the schemes, the websites are here:
http://www.campingcheque.co.uk/
http://www.campingcard.co.uk/gb/en/home/uc33-l2-n253/
They are only valid in low season, BUT, a lot of sites still accept them into July, it's a matter of checking dates for the sites you are interested in.

Next question - Camping Cheques - with only 600 odd sites across all of France are they worth it? I'd hate to cough up for a batch and be left with them at the end because we didn't go to the right sites. I gather they are not transferrable.
ONLY 600 sites?!? I'd have thought that was quite a lot to pick from. They are valid for 2 years though, so any you buy now, will also be valid for 2011. And whilst they are not supposed to be transferable, there is always a very healthy trade in them, on here as well as on other sites 
In case you are worried about them, ACSI would be your better bet then, it's £11.50 to buy the book plus card, nothing more. You then pay the going rate at whatever campsite you stay on, either 11, 13 or 15 Euros.
Or just go and see what you think, and don't take any of the above. The only reason I mentioned them was that they do have the potential of saving quite a lot of money on sitefees, as in addition to the daily rate, some sites also offer 7 nights for the price of 6, 11 for 10, or 14 for 11 or 12, so quite a few savings to be made.
Municipal sites are usually very reasonably priced, so for your first time, perhaps worthwhile buying the ACSI book, with very little outlay up front, and see how you go.
