    Belgium & Switzerland mostly
    Probably also some regions in Northern Spain/Northern Italy depending of the regions in France you are talking about

    edit : maybe Alsace region with Germany a bit ?

    England looks different to me although I can see few similarities

    Belgium: including the Dutch-speaking part. Right?

    If you are asking in general i think French people are closer to other French speakers. After Monaco, the closest country is Belgium but only to the French speaking part. Then it's Switzerland (again it's only to the French speaking area.)
    The closest non French speaking country to France is Italy IMO.

    If you are asking the question to me, my favorite European countries are Italy along with the UK. But it's my preferences.
    I think it's easier to communicate with a Belgian person than with an Italian person but i'm more attracted to Italy or the UK than to Belgium. Some French regions are closer to certain countries. For instance, Alsace is closer to Germany...

    In general the closest countries are Monaco, Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Quebec, Italy...

    Grey rainy Belgium versus beautiful lush Italy. Can't blame you there.

    So far, from the comments, it's leaning towards Belgium/Switzerland with a nod to Italy. But Ilma has not yet put her Viking oar into the water . . .
