I'd pick Cambodia or Vietnam they were on the list. I guess with Lousiana I could drive home on the weekends though.

When I pick one regardless of feasibility factor it's Bora Bora hands down



On a more realistic side I'd spend a couple of weeks in the Paroisse Terrebonne dans la Looziann.
Mais yeah, cher.

I would like to live in Corsica - Ile de Beauté, the island of beauty. I have been there several times and it was always awsome!

Actually in Cambodia only the older generation speak French, English has taken the second language spot among the younger generation.

Anyways, I'd probably choose Luxembourg because they speak a multitude of other European languages.

I only picked countries/region where French is official, or one of the official languages.

since I already go to France on a regular basis, I've chosen Québec because I loved it when I visited. Switzerland would be my second choice and Luxembourg would come third.

I have lived and visited Louisiana and it is a grand place filled with fun-loving, caring, decent people. It is certainly my first choice.

After that, I would pick Quebec, but not Montreal. To cosmopolitan for me, thank you. I'd choose a smaller town, where perhaps the chance of meeting an English-speaking person would be less, but nevertheless, you cannot beat a rural environment for hospitality.

But even so, Louisiana is definitely where I would go. (You can't beat dem crawfish, cher!)

I would definetely pick Quebec, Canada !

Quebec, and Canada in general is like the U.S., but they use metric units instead (which I love), and Quebec is mixture of American and European. Montreal is also only 5-6 hours drive from NYC and N. NJ.

France would be nice too, but nothing for me. Vacation is amazing, but not to live.

Quebec would feel 100% home for me! La belle province
