I am thinking of spending 10 days during Easter in Morocco, and it will be my first time there, so I´m afraid I cannot help you. If I end up going, it will be with an organized tour. I travelled with them to Egypt, and everything run smoothly (the only big problem were a few sore throats), so I am relying on their tour selection for Morocco. The itinerary will be the following :

1 - Bilbao Madrid Casablanca Meknes Fez 2 - Fez 3 - Fez Midelt Erfoud 4 - Erfoud Zagora 5 - Zagora Ouarzazate 6 - Ouarzazate 7 - Ouarzazate Marrakech 8 - Marrakech 9 - Marrakech 10 - Marrakech - Casablanca - Madrid - Bilbao

As you can see, a whole day is devoted to Fez, and from there we will leave for Erfoud, crossing the Atlas, so that could be a good day trip. http://www.morocco-travel.com/h/Midelt/

As you are living in France, you might like to check the Guide du Routard for Morocco. Their spanish version is quite good. http://www.routard.com/

Have you thought about not spending the whole week in Fes, and going for a couple of days to Marrakech? http://i-cias.com/morocco/marrakech.htm
