Bretagne is the only part of France I've ever been to, but I think it's probably the best. It's a lot like Cornwall in England- it feels like it hasn't changed for hundreds of years, and there's a really mythical atmosphere. They're nice folks there, not the mean kind of city folk you can come across when travelling. If you want to see 'real' France and not just a quick look around the Palace of Versailles and a gander at the Eiffel Tower, I suggest Bretagne.
Also, as far as Spain goes, the town of Tossa De Mar on the east coast is perfection. Its not too far away from Barcalona and it's really worth looking at. There's an amazing walled castle around which the town spirals outwards in little winding streets with all sorts of interesting nooks and crannies. It may have become a little 'touristy' but you can easily see past all of that.
I stayed in Italy for a week once and I remember nothing. Greek Islands are hit and miss, Crete is probably the most interesting, if you can get out to see the ruins of King Minos' palace, or whatever it was. I would avoid the UK at all costs unless you want to get stabbed to death brutally for no apparent reason.
