I did a journey down to Bordeaux last summer to visit friends. Brilliant trip, did it geared though. Fixed would mean walking quite a few uphills There is a French cycling group called the etoilistes or something like that giving great routes down through France. I went down to Portsmouth then ferry to St Malo and then all down the west coast rucksack on my back hot sweaty but it was only a small one though so it wasn't to bad on the shoulders. 5 days about 100 miles a day.
Check out the Dordogne and all the picture postcard perfect villages along the river and the cycling in Les Landes is great dedicated cycleways through beautiful forest Cap Ferere and Arcachon ( biggest sand dune in europe ) all very nice for cycling. The French are a nation of cyclist too they are very friendly hellos all the way friendly waves from people in their front yards and car drivers are courtious towards you waving you on making room very different to London
Enjoy
