Besides where I live, probably Del Mar California.

Fancy

I used to work for a travel agency ... Auberge Del Mar is a popular boutique hotel but expensive

I got the name wrong lol

I always forget the L

In French L’ is used in place of Le or La when the subsequent word starts with a vowel.

Essentially means the inn.

sounds so much better in French

The Residence Auberge by Marriott lol

edit: I have never been to Quebec, are you surprised lol

Sounds fancier at least.

It’s kind of funny that the hotel’s name is French and Del Mar is Spanish.

So it means the Inn of the sea but in two separate languages.

You should visit Montreal and Quebec City. Wouldn’t want to live there but they are nice to visit.

Both are on my to do list.

excellent linguistic/etymological analysis

I lived in Montreal for a year, in the mid 90s. It was a nice place, I loved it...
