Does anyone have any advice on where is worth a visit, what to expect and how long it will take?
We estimated 2 weeks, going at a leisurely pace so we can stop and see all the sights. We plan on camping pretty much every night

Book your sites in Spain, I found them difficult to find. Watch out for really bad Spanish drivers. You really have to go over the Millau Bridge. I found France much more friendly a place, with services every 40km. Much easier to find camping sites, they're better signposted in France. Didn't do Italy. If you get a chance, Monaco is stunning.
