Welcome to the forum Angie, firstly I think your going to need a trailer, unless your mode of transport is other than a car, as for the tent, well my first choice would be a Karsten,
Also canvas type, I am biased and would only ever go for heavy cotton, a compromise would be Polycotton but no way rip-stop nylon polyester.
A proper portable fridge is a must, the Mobicool FR40 is the real deal, available from SVB.24 in Germany for the best price.
I guess you will have a EHU, although it is nice to cook on gas, I would either go for a couple of CampinGaz 907 cylinders, or if you you have room a couple of 5kg Le Cube Butane cylinders which you can get over in France, very cheap refills compared to CampinGaz.
Good luck, that is a fantastic trip that you are planning.

For an extended period, and sun, I would definitely, as others have suggested, go cotton or polycotton as a material for the tent, for all sorts of reasons.....
Like wise for a plethora of reasons, everyone favours various types of tent....and I'm no different. For simplicity, and robustness, I would go for a good bell tent....not all bell tents are the same. I would go for the highest sidewall on a bell tent I can find, and in your situation, a zipped in groundsheet would be very versatile.
Dutch pyramid tents are quality and robust...tend to have many poles, and arguably less ventilation options, dependant on model.
I am fortunate to have used a couple of each of the above styles
You will get lots of responses, and lots of views. Options are limited, but try if possible to get to see tents erected.
ps love Stuarts message above! So true.
