If you get stuck etap and Formula 1 hotels are a good fall back throughout the region you are travelling in .
Would have to agree about Eastern Europe - the Alps are worth a visit but they arent big mileage days due the the altitudes and small roads . The South of France is ok but stay away from the coast rd s as very heavy traffic .
300 miles a day is pretty sedate - it allows you to adjust either way - have done big miles in one hit when ive had to eg 700 + but dont remember anything about what i passed on the way so slow down , enjoy the ride dont be too ambitious . When you try to hit targets like " must reach the port by six " or similiar things go wrong especially in the mountains when one mistake can be very very final if you are unlucky
