I can't believe anyone could prefer France to Italy! Italy in my opinion is 10 times as nice- better food and wine, nicer people, more beautiful scenery, better cities. I want to go to Italy as often as possible, I will never get tired of it, both revisiting places I've seen and discovering new ones. I've been to France 3 times and have no desire to go again, it's ok, but nowhere compares to Italy!
