European based Domain hoster / reseller

Hi all, I'd like to use the swarm intelligence here and wonder anyone could help me please.
Compared to the likes of Namecheap or GoDaddy or NameSilo, etc, is there any large scale well known European based domain hoster/reseller that has a big variety of TLDs.
I found so far the German companies Hetzner and 1&1 Ionos to have a very good and large list as well as Hostingireland, but I'm sure there are others that are simply not on my radar.
In particular, I'm looking for niche tld support that devs or startups would use.
A European based entity is required for legal reasons and for renewal pricing transparency, hence my question.
Thanks all for that.

OpenProvider and Hexonet tends to be quite decent
+1 for Hexonet. Was my choice before moving to Porkbun.
Freenom is NL based iirc. Despite some bad reviews, never had an issue with them.

OVH
Try register.it.
inwx.com, do.de, domaindiscount24.com, all germany based. OVH had nice prices a few years back but is a pain regarding domains from e.g. Austria (.at).
Edit: sry, didn't saw key-systems mentioned. domaindiscount24.com is one of those brands.
I'm quite happy with do.de and also with a provider called tecspace.
