We use Aires in France for almost all of our overnight stays.
The Aires are found in almost every village and town throughout France and most range from free up to around €10.
Many have a differing amount of facilities on site – waste water and cassette disposal points, rubbish bins, fresh water can cost up to €2 for 100 litres/ten minutes, if Ehu is available expect to pay a couple of Euros for a few hours of electricity – Aires usually have some or all of these facilities.
There is no hard and fast rules of what to expect on each site but some free Aires have all the facilities while some of the higher price Aires have almost none.
There are books, USB sticks ( www.campingcar-infos.com ) and many internet sites with information about Aires and what facilities they have and it depends on how much or how little you want to invest in getting information about Aires.
The Bible of Aires is 'All the Aires France Edition 4' (from Vicarious Books) which has details of 2,700 Aires and most people take this book in the early days of their MH travels.
Do not use Motorway Aires for overnight stops, they are okay for short stops, as they are not as safe as Aires in towns and villages.
Campsites can be used if you want guaranteed facilities, such as showers, but they are overpriced compared to any Aire.
France is very MH friendly and you should have no trouble finding anywhere to stay overnight at that time of year.
Here you can find examples of Aires, and other clips related to France, that I videoed in June/July last year –

If you're going by Eurotunnel and/or taking a dog there are videos that might be of use to you amongst the clips
