Sofa so good

All too often I get frustrated when, on paper, a car meets my perceived requirements only to find the seating is uncomfortable and the back seats are like "a park bench" as my wife puts it. Over the years we have found French cars have given the most comfortable seating and ride quality. We want to be "wafted " along. Can you suggest a car that meets these requirements in the small to large family size?
