We've done 393 in one day - but mostly stick to between 250 and 350 miles.  We share driving, have no children with us, and use mostly non-toll roads.  I've no doubt it's possible to do 400 miles (and there are others on here who do much more - see  How far  ) - but is it pleasant?   It depends if you're really in a hurry to get somewhere.  We tend to make the journey part of our holiday - I suppose because we never book anywhere we don't have any real 'destination' - just heading for the sun usually.  If you are going to do that sort of distance then get an early start, and stop regularly for breaks. 

We are going to L'Fururiste near Poiters on Monday starting from Calais via Rouen,Chatres,Tours. At Tours we use  part of the toll ring road and the cost is about 3€, sometimes we pay a toll from Boulogne to Abbeyville and other times we use the N1. This route is used by a lot of HGV's from Spain / Portugal.

i see you have a sedona and a bailly. we had a sedona and a baily ranger and can do edinburgh to dover, callias to loire valley in 1. about800 mls the sedona is a very able tow car and on the good roads in france 70/80 mph is very easy and safe to do so big mileages possable to do

We drove from just south of Poitiers (Couhe) to Calais in one day last summer. We left at about 8:30am and arrived about 4 or 4:30 I think. That's with two drivers, a couple of swap over stops and a 40 minute lunchbreak, on the motorway all the way. 

We weren't towing though and I imagine that would slow you down a fair bit.
