We just received a save-the-date for a friend's wedding in Bordeaux at the end of August. The wedding website states that we need to book tickets and accommodations fast. Although we were not going to take a European vacation this year due to the continuing declining dollar, if we're going to spend over a grand to get there, we might as well stay for a bit. We want to book our tickets ASAP, but need to decide where our final destination will be so that we can book the appropriate open jaw.

Any recommendations for a 7-10 day itinerary that makes sense starting in Bordeaux? We don't want to go to Paris; we worry Nice will be boring for that long; neither of us speak Spanish and aren't overly excited by Spain (though can be convinced otherwise). We're considering Morocco, but don't know if it makes sense in terms of cost to get there, things to do, etc. Don't want anything too expensive. Also looking for tips on flights to any recommended destination, lodging, etc. One of us is SPG Gold and United 2P.
