when you depart rouen, just before you take the toll road to Le Mans, there is a castle ruin, its a tourist attraction so parking might be ok. might be worth considering? Alternatively there are plenty of aires along the route, so I wouldn't worry, just plan to stop at the first one after rouen, its not far after the castle ruins.
Personally I would try for somewhere just after Rouen as it can be a bit tedious travelling through there and if in convoy, i wouldn't be surprised if you get split up, traffic lights, traffic etc. but once youre through rouen its toll road/dual carriageway all the way and if you all agree to stop after the first aire after the ruin it means your progress wont be halted by waiting for the others to overtake to catch up etc.
PS, where in Western France? it might be worth considering going through Caen/Rennes and dropping down, its all motorway/dual carriageway and its a lot cheaper on the toll fees, just two tolls of around 10e in total, we take that route all the time to the Vendee. we always stop at the Mont St Michel aires, which is a brilliant picnic area, BUT at least 2 hours past rouen
ps you can do it for free on the scenic route, all dual carriageway up to Caen, then motorway etc for the rest, but that will add an hour to your journey and takes you through several lovely villages
