If booking on the AA codeshare, you would have to be booking a journey for which a fare exists - if you seach for AA fares for LHR=NCE on Expert Flyer, what do you get
AA might be able to book you on BA assuming BA ticket rules allow AA to issue and as long as AA wants to sell it
easiest method to book a European flight on BA would be to book directly on BA

Why did I care? Just seeing what relative pricing would be and to evaluate whether it makes more sense to buy a ticket vs. do an award ticket. Sometimes I see AA pricing < BA and vice versa.
At the end of the day, I booked a BA award (10.5k avios + $12 per ticket) as the BA ticket was around $150 each and I had some Avios knocking around in my account.
