VFR on French Airways?

I just have quick question about doing this; I've flown in France quite a lot, sometimes IFR, sometimes VFR. In the past I've either flown IFR or when VFR just gone point to point and got clearances when necessary.

However if I join an airway VFR, maintaining correct level for track etc and that airway passes through a TMA or something that is class D, do I need a clearance for that even if I'm on the airway which is class E?

Example: (Looking at the SIA 1:1,000,000 chart) Following A3 via Moulins north or south which has a MEA of FL65 which passes through Saint-Yan TMA which is class D airspace up to FL85? Is a clearance for the class D needed?
