Planning Vacation for Next Summer. England or France? Help me decide!

16. Many years ago I stayed in a small B&B in St. Germaine en Laye, which is..

a suburb of Paris about a half hour train ride away.

I loved the place with its cobblestoned streets, bicycles loaded with bread... It was everything you expected a small French town to be if you saw enough Truffault movies.

I doubt it's the same now, or as cheap, but the French are undoubtedly much the same.

Other than that, I'm big on Scotland and Germany. Scotland, if you get the right rail pass, is the easiest place in the world to get around and the Scottish Tourist Bureau is great-- no reservations necessary, they'll find you a room anywhere and answer any question you can think of.

Germany, btw, is rarely thought of as a tourist destination, but the people are usually great, the sights are incredible, and the cost is reasonable.
