Gandi.net is France-based and apparently one of the best in the business. ( I had a rough move at first with them, coming from using another service for a decade, but they've been solid so far. )

I second gandi. A very good UI/UX on their web service, a clear API that's usually well supported for domain TLS auth (certbot), a very complete documentation, and a good support.

What makes them "one of the best in the business" when evaluating their trustworthyness? I wonder if it really would be a good choice to use a registrar from another country. Since I am not based in France, I could probably not afford to sue them in case they mess up. So if they mess up, my leverage to get them to act is probably non existant.

  I mentioned France because EU regulations are better than elsewhere for customers, you also asked specifically about Europe. It's hard to find a bad review or a disgruntled customer anywhere, they consistently rank high in all articles or reports you might find about registrars / hosts, and they do not advertise themselves. Also, they're not a newcomer, but a relatively big player ( despite the lack of advertising ) and independent, not part of one of those American umbrella companies with dozens of fake subcompanies who couldn't care less about individual cases. I am based in Asia and even here they have an excellent reputation. I happened to find them at a time they were short on hands and releasing new products, their replies to my issues were slow and I was not happy about it -- full disclosure. Yet here I am recommending. I was contacted directly by the area manager and offered compensation in the form of free services after I complained. In my experience they are serious, and I haven't found any better as yet.
