England and France
Separated by the English Channel, these two countries share a long, storied history.
See remnants from the distant past at Buckingham Palace, Winchester Castle, and the Arc de Triomphe. Today, the echoes of D-Day linger at the beaches in Normandy and the bustle of London’s Piccadilly Circus rivals the fashionable Champs-Élysées in Paris.
