Germany just Germany it is lovely.
[pedant alert] Jeanne d'Arc was burned by the French not the English (although the English had a hidden hand in the proceedings and the English certainly wanted her dead
As to the original question: surely this depends on what you're looking for. Nicest place for nightlife? relaxing on your own? relaxing with family? a romantic getaway? Nicest place for culture? Football?
The only place I've ever wanted to live was Berlin so that must be pretty high but I do love the south-west of France too.
To be honest, there are dozens of brilliant places across Europe - some lively, some beautiful, some both.
There have only been two places in the world so horrible that I couldn't get away quickly enough: Barcelona and Dubai. Everywhere else that I've been has had something going for it.
Guessing you didn't do Geography at school?
I meant on the Southern coast, which it sort of is. It's certainly not on the northern coast, and Spain doesn't really have an east coast on account of the rest of Europe.

What?
Ok then yes, I am terrible at geography it turns out.
Budapest, Hungary with its stunning surrounding lakes and forests. Food and drink is cheap, the locals very friendly and pace of life so relaxed.
So many places to list but some that come to mind:
For those who like Prague try Chesky Kromnov (spelling might be off)
Grindlewald, Switzerland
Fussen in Germany neuschwanstein castle (again my spelling sucks)
Crete in the mountains
Boppard, Germany
Zermatt, Switzerland

Zermatt was great. The incredible Matterhorn can be seen from almost anywhere. And no cars.
I liked St.Anton, Obergurgl, Kitzbuehel, in Austria + some tiny ski villages, that always seem to have at least one heaving bar. Great locals.

Lucernne (Luzern) in Switzerland - lovely architechture, the lake, Mount Pilatus. Only problems are the tourists and it's so expensive. Still, going back there for work in September and can't wait.

one of my favourites would be the Island of Vis, Croatia
I'm off there for a couple of days on a fortnight today with my wife and 6 year old daughter. I don't do heights so will have to sample a few beers in the grand place whilst they climb the belltower (Need to watch "In Bruges" to get into the mood a few days before).

Your pedantry, sir, is bang on target. Assomething of a pedant myself on occasion, I am aghast at what I have perpetrated.
And while i am here, Nice is nice, as is St Tropez out of season.
North Ibiza and Formentara in particular are beautiful. Would love to live there.

I'm with you on that, though it may have something to do with the 3000 or so different beers they brew in the region!

No shouts for Madeira yet?
The Garden Isle.
A lot was washed away in the floods a few years ago, but I'm told it's now all back to normal.
Not too hot, not too cold, all the way through the year.
