I've always wanted to go to Germany, but for some reason I've never been. I think I might look into going at some point during Christmas or Easter.
I can suggest doing all the obvious surrounding countries, you could do them with an inter-railing pass over a week or two (Assuming you want to do that). Also, if you fancy going to France, can I suggest going to south France it's much nicer (Marseilles is a great city). Although Paris is ok for a day or two.
