I have done a couple of tours in France, one from Calais to Basel, and another starting in Dieppe and making a 1400k circle down to the Loire, heading west and then back along the coast to Dieppe.
I think you would be ill-advised to ride fixed (unless you are really experienced - which case you prob wouldn't be asking).
France is not flat - apart from the Plat de Crau (way in the South) - always hilly. Brittany is particularly hill, and even Picardy is not really flat.
