Wouldn't be my first choice either. Even some of the spiders down under are very dangerous. My wife and I would prefer France or Italy.

Ditto Rick, Venice is off the charts excellent, as are many places in France aside from Paris. Sisteron and -C├┤te d'Azur are more my speed!

We spent over a week in Vienne-en-Val and absolutely loved it there. The people were very welcoming and friendly. At the local village pub, everyone greeted us. The stereotypical stuff you hear about France is major BS.

Maybe a dozen words. Most of the folks we talked to spoke English especially in Paris.
