As stated in earlier posts, electricity unit charging is usually a feature of winter time pitching and is mostly an issue for people who use heating. I have experienced it on winter time pitching in Spain and the method was usually to take a reading at the start and end of your trip and then average it out to a daily figure. It depends where you are going in France (mountains) and your luck with the weather but it would be unusual for a daily average of 4kw to be exceeded in September, assuming that to be the method used.
I noted your use of an induction hob. Most induction hobs will theoretically be on the cusp of tripping a 6amp supply and many will definitely do so - check yours out before relying totally on it for your cooking. You may be lucky - I was in France last year and a Dutch neighbour was happily baffled that his powerful induction hob didn't trip the 6amp supply.

Regards, Steve

Just an aside on the last topic in your post, we have used ACSI for about 10 years (3 or 4 trips a year, 5 or 6 sites per trip ) and I can only remember one campsite that did not give us free rein to choose whichever pitch we wanted.

So far as I can remember, the only place we had a restriction was at Beaulieu Sur Dordogne, where we weren't able to choose a riverside pitch. Otherwise, I can't remember anywhere that imposed this kind of restriction.

That is the one site that restricted our choice too.
