^^ Takes about the same time to build up as a bike. Is not cheap at all. Neglects the beauty and advantages of being with your bike. It's a lose-lose tent if you ask me.
@Agatee: I recommend you go to a proper LBS and get a professional bike fit, then check out the Bikepacking Thread. Gonna save you a lot of money in the long run and will give you more pleasure as well on your regular rides on that bike. Assuming with northern coast of France you mean to go from Bretagne to Holland, which isn't all too far and no rough terrain at all, so your road bike should do just fine. However, if you feel you're gonna need shitloads of stuff on the road (which you don't) you might want to look for something with racks and panniers.
