How long does it take to get down to the botton of France? Preferably somewhere sunny with beaches. Can you do it in a day at 60 or do you need to be doing 85?

I did it with a caravan behind a ford sierra easily in a day. You will get there about midnight.
I also did spain in just over half that time on a suziki 1100...

Google maps will give you directions and travel times, for example Calais to Marseille works out ar 13.5 hours.

A few years ago I did Southampton - Cocumont (past Bordeaux, the south west kind of area) via Dover-Calais ferry. We left Southampton around 5pm, got to Calais about 1am local time (after the M25 was closed!) and then to Cocumont late morning. That was driving between 70 and about 110 on clear roads with probably around 2 hours worth of breaks I guess.
So I guess all the way to the South would be doable in a day at 60 quite easily.

Yes we do.
Like most things coming from the Dutch it ain't worth a lot. I can't honestly name 1 program of their 3 channels.
