I love America, but I have to admit that when I watch the Tour de France that

Parts of the N.C. mountains are considered “rain forests”

I love France but you haven't lived until you scrape dog crap off your feet in

Plus it is full of French people

Meh, I don't mind the french people. Since I served my mission there, I kind of

It's really "Parisians" that people are talking about.

They do have good fries, toast, and kissing.

They’re pretty good at wine, too!

Fortunately, les crottes de chien have gotten MUCH rarer in most French places.

You can't be a winter hater. Don't agree that it doesn't have mountains, though.

ReyOso

Jealous of the historic scenery, but the US could rival for mountain scenery.

Joe Banks

9/18/20 10:08am

the big difference is scale and access to the mountains

9/18/20 10:10am

As it should be.

They’re accessible by foot or horseback. Hiking away from the crowds is the best

I agree. U.S. scenery and national parks are the best in the world.

I was in the Alps last summer. It's definitely spectacular.

Yeah I'm sure the Tour riders would love to be riding in California right now 🙂

I'm tempted to tell you to go to Glacier Nat'l Park...but I also don't want to

My wife is from Montana, Glacier is great but still the rockies are just dry.

Yeah. The Rockies suck.

letthewookieewin

Agree, The Sierra are much better

Unfortunately it's looked a lot more like this recently.

Just a different kind of beauty. Here's a photo of one of my favourite biking trails:

I have lived in France, Switzerland and Montana. I disagree with your assessment

Why exclude Alaska and Hawaii? Both are part of the US, gorgeous, and are rain

The North Cascades in Washington would like a word with you.

Watch these highlights from yesterday, just breathtaking scenery.

Yep. I'm a cyclist so I'll watch the Tour sometimes just for that, but really it's the helo footage showing the scenery
