Just cycled this last week (well the Dieppe to Paris section, didn't have time for London-Newhaven). Route is pretty gentle with only a couple of decent hills. I was geared but the other managed it fine on a ss with a pretty heavy load. Camped at Forges les Eaux and Triel sur Seine. Forge les Eaux was 5 euro per night for both of us, free showers, Triel was 11 euro and 2 euro per shower (this was the 1st site you come to, there is another one next door, slightly pricier. There is a 2km downhill on the way into Triel sur Seine that was lovely to coast down, would be a shame to have to go down on a fixed! Normandy is beautiful to cycle through, quiet country roads, considerate drivers. Followed the Donald Hirsch route - v.good directions, only got lost once or twice, didn't have a map but there are very useful maps on bus stops/billboards in every village and town. Pics to follow at some point.
