Suggestions for a 7/8 day Euro trip please

Hi all
Looking for suggestions for an 8 day European trip in June/July. In the last 5 years Four of us on our bikes have been to Nice, a villa near the South of France, Lake Garda (twice) and Lake Maggiore. We always meet up with our wives halfway through our trip and staying with them for 2/3 days. This year we were thinking of getting a ferry to Santander, doing a bit of the Pico's, meeting the women in the Perpignan area and then riding home from there. Logistically we have realised that wouldn't work out in the time we have so we are banging our heads to find somewhere different to go to. Even considering going on our own as we've just discovered that the women have arranged a mini break away for themselves and not included us so sod 'em! Don't want to knock our bollocks out riding big miles everyday but don't mind the odd 400-500 mile daily ride if its necessary (our one-day record was a 660 mile home from Chamonix). We hate motorways but realise they are sometimes necessary to get to the good roads and we like mountain roads and/or interesting places/sights. Don't mind getting a ferry one way either out or back but not both ways as that'll mean at least 3 or 4 days of no riding Nothing has been ruled out so, any suggestions?
