I thought you would be brave enough to accept your mistake and finish the whole conversation there. Initially the subject of the forum was about nice places in Europe and now you are showing your nescience. It is alright if you don't want to know about European places but please don't give information about things you do not know.

Oh! And by the way, I wasn't offensive to any of you. Try then not to offend me for writing my opinion.
And the award for not understanding what 'hedging your bets' means goes to:

'idiot', sorry... 'nikhost'. Congratulations! 😀

I have to admit that I didn't know what it means either. But I was wise enough to look it up.

Well, maybe I was being a bit harsh there.

But it's rather ironic to accuse me of 'nescience' in that context. 😉

Lindisfarne.

Mull ... but take rain gear (and then you can bail out and try the myriad whiskys)

Or there is a fantastic hike up on the ridge above Wast Water in the lakes.

Or St Malo for the Fruits de Mer.

Paris for a rugby match

Alsace for wine and mountain hikes.

The Picos de Europa.

Lindisfarne can be reached at low tide across a causeway but you are cut off when the water rises ... avoid summer and the tourists... pick a rainy day and you'll have it to yourself ... strange and amazing (and its easy to ignore the religious stuff unless that's your thing)

Edit: the whole of the Northumbrian coast is pretty good really!
