Countries that Visit France the Most

But you can drive into France from Belgium, Luxembourg, Spain, Italy and Switzerland without any border controls at all - so how can these people be counted? They can't. So I do wonder how they made up these numbers.

I both agree and disagree with you. Yes it is true that America is big and there is a lot to see there. I don't however believe that they think they're too far from other countries. I think it's because America, along with many other countries, is quite geographically ignorant (not saying everyone). Also notice that almost all the countries above America share a border with France.

well there is less to see in Canada.

I mean I'm not even trying to knock Canada but come on... you answered yourself in your own comment and the quote you attributed to Americans is a perfectly valid one. Think about it... if you're in the USA and you want to visit the largest amusement park in the world, the most popular gambling destination in the world, the world's largest museum complex, the biggest city or the tallest building the Western hemisphere, the oldest national park in the world, the Grand Canyon, the beaches of Miami or Waikiki, Hollywood, etc etc etc you can do all that without leaving the country. If you're in Canada and you want to go relax on a sunny beach with warm water in September... where are you going to go?

Americans are still the biggest source country for tourists around the world in spite of all this, but they are being overtaken by China.

French Guiana just occurred to me so Brazil is another country that's on this list probably just due to proximity.

But... when you think of countries with the most people in them... it ought to be the 5th country that you think of. That's how I got it.

Also I bet some of those visitors from Brazil are going to French Guiana, which is right next door.

When Brazil was Europeanizing in the 19th and 20th centuries, they tried to model themselves after France (even if the language is Portuguese). Sao Paulo was built up as basically the Paris of the Western Hemisphere. So there is a lot more cultural overlap than one would immediately think.

I'm Brazilian. We Brazilians love to travel, we are probably the most emerging country that travels the most in relation to the percentage of the population, apart from our population of 200 million. In addition to cultural diversity, which facilitates the passport for European and Asian descendants from Brazil. I have Japanese descent, and I can go to Japan anytime I want (I was born there).

they're right next to france people probably go multiple times

I was just about to say the same thing. It seems the source for this quiz (although outdated and non-extant now) is a questionnaire asking people in various countries how often they visited various other countries, so Luxembourg makes sense as some people there would visit France dozens or even hundreds of times for work/shopping.

If everyone in Monaco crossed the street into France just 20 times per year then it would make the list...

Is this supposed to be sarcastc or did you even read the caveats
