Record high for this location is 102, record low 0. It's in zone 8, although the heat zone is only 3 (those figures are quite common for this part of Europe though)
I'd give it a B- Reasonable amount of seasonality, although not as much as I'd like, (and not anywhere near as much as Detroit Lakes, MN, where I was born), and a little too less sunshine for my likes, although not as little as I've lived through in Edinburgh for 2 years...
Essentially crappy but July highs makes it OK compared to northern France or much of the UK or Belgium where you wouldn't have average highs above 22/23°C.
Sunshine is low but not much worse than Paris.

Relatively high summer highs are typical for the Rheinland as far as I know... The whole Lower Rhine (Koblenz and Cologne down to Arnheim and Nijmegen) have average highs around 24-25°C (75-77°F) and the Upper Rhine valley (everything between Mainz and Freiburg/Mulhouse) are even higher, around 25°C to 27°C on average. (77-80°F) The Lower Rhine has warmer winters though, so their annual averages are similar, roughly around 11°C (52°F). I think the Rhineland, on average is the warmest part of West-Central Europe. It's also the furthest north, anywhere in the world, where they commercially grow grapes for making wine...

You don't consider Paris, Champagne or Alsace as being part of northern France?
As for Nijmegen, a D. It's basically the same as Paris and subsequently has the same drawbacks to me: little seasonality and too low sunshine and precipitation.
B. Too wet in winter for my likes. I was in southeast England last winter and the temps were similar to this and damp and it made me very sick for the first time in 10 years during winter. Summers are fantastic
