Is FAA license valid in Europe?

As long as you fly within the airspace of the country that issued your license you will not need a flight review, but once crossing the airspace to another country you will be flying on your FAA licenses and they need to be current. So yes, a flight review is needed if you are planing to fly across Europe.
