Well, several things differentiate the two. First of all, France is a country, proper. England is one of four parts of what most of the world refers to as Great Britain, or the United Kingdom (along with Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland). While the United Kingdom and France boast similar populations, one must bear in mind that while England is the most populous territory in the U.K. by a long-shot, it is still only one of four. Although the two aren't at each other's throats as far as threats of military action are concerned, it would appear the citizens of the two aren't exactly fond of one another. The English and the French dislike having to concede anything to one another, whether it's political, athletic, religious, scientific, etc. When one supports another country, it's very likely the other will take a stand against what that particular other country is doing. Neither seem to be all to fond of American President George W. Bush, but most Americans agree. Customs and traditions vary greatly from one area to another as well. Although they are seperated by roughly twenty miles, the cultural importance of certain things couldn't be more defined. An American in a decent sized city can most likely find a French restaurant, where as British fare influenced American food so much, there isn't a need for a British, or English restaurant. The same American would also be likely to find a British, or English pub or bar, whereas they'd get their French alcohol at a specialty store, or the afforementioned French restaurant. Also of historical importance is the influence of the French flag on flags of other (particularly African) nations. The simple tri-color design came to signify independance, and advancement. Examples include Chad, Romania, Italy, Gabon, Rwanda, etc. Also of note: the French seem opposed to bathing except when absolutley nescessary.

The language, French in France and English in England.
This is only one of the differences, the main one being
that France is a country "per se" and England is part
of a larger country known as the United Kingdom of Great
Britain which includes Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

In franglais:
Nous sommes great
Ils sont retards
Seriously though, there is an awful lot. Language, attitudes, culture, government, judicial system, etc.
What subject is this for anyway? That could be a hint as to what to look at.
In any case, try the CIA world factbook.
