Is there a route planner for France that will stick to scenic roads?

I am driving through France and would like to travel on scenic roads and use toll roads to avoid cities or 'dull' areas. Is there a route planner that can help me in the way that Michelin paper maps indicated scenic roads?

Michelin continues to provide a service like this but in digital form here www.viamichelin.co.uk/routes - where you can set your departure point and destination and avoid motorways. You can also input similar preferences to Google Maps to achieve similar results.
