And here's one more for me:
Almond croissants to start out the day, A leisurely stroll on the Champs Elysees, Versailles with its gardens to suit only kings........ These are a few of my favorite things.

Phread, the wine bar sounds wonderful. I've added it to my list. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Andi, what can I say? You've inspired some poets! It's contagious:
Big orange bags from Le Bon Marche, Green Longchamp bags that I carry away, Bags full of bags and the pleasure it brings, These are a few of my favorite things...

At first I thought we were like the Brady Bunch, but now I see we're more like the Partridge Family. ;D

Ok Here is my pathetic try:
Les ponts de la Seine et les jolis marchés Un bon jambon beurre et un grand panaché Les conversations entendues au café Voilà pourquoi j’aime Paris Aujourd’hui

No Hebrew right now because I'll go nuts having to type the transliteration. However, here's just one more in English:
Ile St. Louis... the home of Berthillon, Five-star hotels like the Ritz and the Crillon, The Luxembourg Gardens where every bird sings... These are a few of my favorite things.

Seriously speaking, though, writing poetry for special occasions has become my hobby over the years, and I do it in both English and Hebrew. I've recently completed my speech, which is in poetry form, to be be read at my daughter's wedding in August.
