I'm quite envious of your trip, but uncertain if I would have the courage to do it on my own, especially if I were in your situation.
I haven't been to France for a few years now, but since one of my sons recently moved to a village near Nantes that is likely to change. At one point I was driving to Provence or Occitanie most years. Drove to San Gimignano once, too, in a Fiat with a dodgy starter motor that sometimes wouldn't engage and needed tapping with a small rock every so often. Took the coastal road for the last bit of the journey crossing from France to Italy. Returned via Milan.
Beaune I remember well - a lovely town and area.
Enjoy the rest of it!
