I think 200k on flat terrain is possible but you'll not really have time to stop when you fancy or enjoy a long, lazy French lunch. I'd definitely advocate gears too, as PJ says do not underestimate the opportunity to rest.
Choosing what to take is worth spending some time on - you can rest assured that the first time you go on a trip you'll take stuff you'll never need. Over time you begin to pare back the load to the point where you can fit all you need in one of these. Grow a beard and get some SPD saddles and you'll soon be eligible for CTC membership. ;)
