Having done a lot of motorcycle tours in Europe a couple of things I would add...
Most local fuel stations don't open on Sundays, so make sure you've topped up on Saturday, or use the services on a Motorway.
You need to rest... We quite often had the odd "day off" just wandering around town, or heading somewhere for a nice slow lunch (The cafe at the Col Du Forclaz has always been a favourite of mine).
Many places in France are closed in August, Towns are almost empty sometimes.
If you're in Chamonix, make time for a trip through the MB tunnel and drive the Grand St Bernard Pass, it really is a lovely drive - and you pass the cafe I mentioned above.
Looks like a great trip...
After the tunnel I turned right at some point the Aosta Valley to take the Petit Saint Bernard Pass. This took me back into France. When I left the Aosta Valley it was a beautiful balmy afternoon, at the top of the Col it was blowing a blizzard, when I got into Seez it was a beautiful balmy evening. A totally amazing and beautiful route that I hope to do again, but next time on two wheels.
