Where Should I go: Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur or England?
Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur
If you're searching for near perfect weather, sophisticated dining and a colorful countryside, you'll find your answer in Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur, or simply Provence, in the south of France.
This popular holiday region covers a large portion of the Mediterranean Sea all the way up to the French Alps. It is bordered on the West by the Rhone River, and in the east by Italy.
To truly appreciate Provence, you must spend more than a few days or even a week touring. Foodies, crafters and wine aficionados will think they've died and gone to Heaven when they arrive in this region of France. No matter your interests, you're going to want to sit back, have a beautiful glass of wine and experience life in the slow lane with the locals.
England
England is a destination people dream of – probably because England itself can be a dream. With double decker buses, quaint cottages and royal families, this country is the land of fairytales and folklore.
Do not confuse England for the United Kingdom or Great Britain. The UK, or Great Britain, is a constituent nation made up of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
This country of 52 million people has gained an awful reputation for being gray, cold and rainy. In truth, the temperatures never reach either extreme and the rain isn't as frequent as you'd think.
While most everyone in England speaks English, be ready for thick accents. Typically divided by northern, southern and London accents, many can be very difficult to understand and may as well be a language of their very own.
