This is a mood-dependent response. Today, I'm saying the Berner Oberland. Tomorrow, it'll be Venice. A week from now, it may be Paris.
Nice to see that the very first response on this thread gives top billing to St. Remy, since we'll be spending 3 nights there in June!

My favorite is always Paris. After that, Florence, Venice, Sicily, Provence, London, Seville - whatever place we have been most recently. I'm a bit fickle but never about my very favorite, Paris.

Our house and hometown are number one.
But elsewhere:
Venice--I'd live there if I had lots of money and had the ability to speak enough Italian to get around comfortably.
Unfortunately, I have neither. I might get the money someday. But I have something akin to a tin ear when it comes to replicating sounds and tones.
I can learn words and phrases and grammar, but actually saying the words with anything close to proper pronunciation and emphasis is a total mystery to me. I could probably learn enough to understand other's speech and to write well enough, but my speaking would be a huge problem.
The American Civil War general and former President U.S. Grant had a tin ear. He is quoted as saying, "I can recognize two tunes. One is Yankee Doodle and the other one isn't."
