English translation:where the accent is on pleasure
Explanation:
(place name) - where the accent is on pleasure.

You could add acute pleasure, but I think it reads better left out.

Just some brainstorming :-)

Explanation:
Just another option for the translation of "accent" here, and a comment:
I suspect that whatever product they are advertising may have some word-play options which are not made clear without the context. Or maybe they are really talking about a speaking accent and then the whole "accent on" (there is no "on" in the French) doesn't fly...
Food for thought?
