Thank you all, the advice is much appreciated. This will be a shortish break so credit card touring rather than camping. It's the Canal du Nivernais and it's only 200km long. We did a short stretch on a canal boat 2 years ago and I have always wanted to head back. I will plan for 70km a day will simply have a longer lunch if I need to adjust my arrival time. It is Burgundy afterall.
I know that stretch. You could do that in one hard day, two good days, three long lunch days. Any longer and you'll either want to find a lot of detours or get really pissed at some vineyard and pass out for an afternoon. Bonus points if you fill your camelbak with wine.
