It shares geographic borders with both.
But in terms of culture, a lot of France is much closer to Spain than it is to Germany, due to the development of the language (based on latin).
However, the region of Alsace is a lot closer to Germany than to Spain. The last time it devolved to France was in 1945, and if you go to Alsace, Alsatian is really close to German.

In culture and people it's Spain, I'd think. I've been to Germany for 10 hours in two airport lay overs or whatever, and I've been in Spain for 2 weeks. I've never been to France but I know the French and Spanish Langauges are more alike then the French and German.

In northeastern France, the culture, people, ect. is closer to that of Germany; in the southwest, I imagine it is closer to that of Spain

Depends on what part of France you're talking about.
You gotta realize that very few countries are uniformly homogenious throughout. & that borders are more accurately frontiers where cultural & linguistic change happens more rapidly, but blends more readily, than elsewhere.

France borders both. French and Spanish both originated in Latin.
