France <snip> where you really can go for hundreds of miles without speaking to (or needing to speak) to anyone else, or for that matter having anyone that wants or is able to talk to you.
I love flying VFR in France.
Also Germany in my limited experience is great: on a 5 hour plus trip from Tannheim to Aarhus ATC would call about once an hour to inform us when we were leaving one control zone and if we wanted we could call the next one on frequency xxx.
So very different from Italy where in certain areas on an 50 mile trip you have to change 5 different frequencies and make at leats 12 calls
