France

About France
France is "La Grand Nation", Land of wine, Champagne, cheese and "joie de vivre". The whole country is interesting for tourists, whether it is the capital Paris with Eifeltower and Louvre, the Cote d´Azur and Mediteranean, the Provence or the Atlantic coastal areas. And for the sports-minded there is of course the Tour De France in July.

England

About England
England is a country that is part of the UK with capital London. It is part of Europe and thanks to the tunnel with France there is even a permanent connection between the continent and the island. England has a long history and the many castles around the country, the English language spoken worldwide and the fact that the King/Queen is head of state in many countries are proof of this. England is also sports-minded (football crazy) and many sports find their roots here.
