For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.In case it helps, I'll offer some data from the ViaMichelin route planner:
The journey distance is given as 823 miles, with nearly all of that (806 miles) being on motorways. The total driving time is given as 12 hours 11 minutes (including 11 hours 35 minutes of motorway driving).
The total cost is estimated at £138.31, with £81.76 of that being petrol and £56.55 being toll charges.
Looking at those figures you could probably do it in a single, long, tiring day with two drivers. It would be more comfortable across two days.
A single driver could also manage it over two, very tiring days but it would probably be better to spread the journey over three days.

Chris... I've actually got to drive Valencia to Calais with 1 overnight stop. I tried googling Valencia to Calais, but there wasn't much coming up, and what did, conflicted greatly. My plans are changing by the day, but I'm thinking of leaving at about 5 or 6am on Saturday next week, and I'm hoping to catch the Eurotunnel in Calais at around 2-4pm on Sunday, stopping overnight in either Bourges or Orleans, depending on how far I get.
