Great wine in France - obviously. Food there is mediocre - though their bakeries are top notch. Best meal in France is wine, of course, and a picnic basket with fresh bread, pasteries, and some deli items. Scenery is great put takes a back seat to Austria and Switzerland.

As a tourist you are at the mercy of the local inhabitants. I've been all over Europe (North to Stockholm, South to Crete), England, and Scotland and have to say the French, especially in Paris, ruin the experience. Sure I've met and drank with some truely outstanding folks in Normandy, Champagne, and Chamonix, but overall the majority of the folks I encountered were very unfriendly. On more occasions than not they seemed to go out of their way to ruin your day. After 3 trips there I have no intention of ever going back.
