Currently meandering around southern France - try St Paul de Vence outside Nice - a mini Carcassonne but not as "Disney". Full of very expensive art and sculpture!
Also, Tourrette sur Loupe further west - nice and unspoiled version of the mediaeval hill towns.
Currently in Fontaine de Vaucluse - lovely little place and the source of the river Sorgue which is currently very quiet but gets spectacular in the winter.
Maybe not the top ten but all worth seeing.

Agreed, Annecy would be pretty high on my list of 10 quickly followed by the Millau Bridge and the Gorge du Tarn and one that I don't think has been mentioned Kaysersberg and Ribeauville, The D-Day landing beaches and museums have their own special interest too and are not far from our shores.
Omaha is truely awesome.
There could be a whole series of these :

Finally, lets hear it for Calais, not because its awesome, but because its been the start and end of countless memorable adventures for us.

It always amazes me that no-one ever seems to mention Colmar.
A fantastic town with streets of medieval streets.
