The trip can be done with hotel accommodation or campsites. Some day trips in France are around the 90 km and are hilly. The trip length is dependent on the availabity of hotelrooms. Things are more easier once you reach Belgium. When you have some cycling experience and you are a bit self reliant, this 10 day trip is a great way to see 3 countries while travelling on unpopulated roads or dedicated cyclepaths.
The route description is from Paris to Amsterdam. It's of course possible to do it the reversed way. Keep in mind though that the wind comes mostly from the South-West.
