Mist and/or fog enroute

Currently faffing around in France with the Maule and deciding which direction I want to go each morning. When creating a potential plan for the day in skydemon some airfields along my intended route are designated IFR due to mist or fog. Now if I plan on overflying VFR at say 4000 feet do I really give a monkeys what the field is reporting, how would one determine from the taf/metars what the "tops" of the mist or fog is, as over flight with vfr on top is fine with me. Other than pilot reports where if anywhere could I find this info?

Probably should know this stuff, but sitting here trying to plan my day it's gotten me stumped and slowing down the party.
