Almost all Accor hotel properties are pet friendly. They have a range of accommodatins, from the no-star, low budget Formule One to the upmarket Sofitel brand. Plot your expected stopovers on a map and check www.accorhotels.com to see what they might have. We travel with our dog and have had good experiences with Accor properties at all price levels.

Hotels in both countries (but especially France) usually have no concerns about admitting dogs. They rarely go out of their way to welcome them either, so don't expect bowls or cute beds to be provided.
Pet specialist websites often restrict their listings to the minority of hotels that make a living from charging extra for indulging dog owners. It's far easier, offers you a much wider choice of convenient hotels and may well save you money to assume all hotels are happy about dogs, but ask the question before confirming your booking.
I'd strongly advise you to list your other priorities (which might well include dog-related ones, like easy access to land he can walk in without a lead,or cheap suites so he can sleep separately from you, that "pet friendly" places might not actually be very good at), select accordingly then check whether they're happy with the pooch.
Incidentally, though it's a motorway from Ancona to the French territory round Geneva, the roads from Geneva to Poitiers mostly aren't. It's quite an effort to drive it in a day.
This may not be relevant, but in the Flannerpooch's estimate, the Manoir de Beauvoir, in Mignaloux on the outskirts of Poitiers, gets 7 stars for being Europe's best hotel. No girlie nonsense about food in china dogbowls, but things real dogs appreciate - like a restaurant with staff that appreciate the importance of decent cheese to a growing spaniel, a room he didn't have to share with us but he could hear and smell us from and a huge golf course to chase birds on.
