I once burned to Briancon in a day from Ostend (overnight ferry from Hull) and it was about 1050K. Was hard work over the Col Du Lautrette at the end of the day in a massive thunderstorm, but that kind of distance is doable if you take it steady. About 12 hours riding time?
I'm planning a trip in July to France, to ride over the spectacluar bridges (Millau viaduct, Pont de Normandie etc), meet my bruv to see the Tour go over the Galibier and meet my lad who will be working in the Ardeche. Reckon on clocking a few miles.....
