Certainly take a lock and fasten your bike to a permanent object like railings or a post. Also if you stop to eat and drink try and position the bike so that you can see it. My bike is insured as part of my household insurance so long as it is locked and secured to a “permanent structure”. That’s what I do riding in rural England and I suspect it would be sensible to do the same in rural France. Having your bike and belongings stolen can take the shine off any touring holiday.
