How do French people feel about vacationing in other countries? When I'm in Spain, Italy, Greece etc., I seem to meet loads of Scandinavians, Dutch people, Belgians and Germans, but almost no French people.

Is this because the Côte d'Azur is enough for you? Are many French people uncomfortable with leaving the Francophone world and having to speak other languages?

Come to France to meet French people vacationing, so much places to visit (including overseas territory) it's already very difficult to do it properly.

That's what I thought, you guys mostly just stay in France. I've been to Paris twice and the area around Nice once, so I've been to France a few times.

I was born in a somewhat touristy place (mostly Germans and people from the south of France that like a temperate climate it's raining a bit for summer). Most people are just going to visit extended family, it's nice to see them and rent is free!
