J'adore (no direct object needed)


Explanation:
Ah, les Champs-Elysées, j'adore (ça).
The "ça" is considered inelegant in some circles.

Or just "j'aime".

j'adore ce pays!


Explanation:
If "it" refers to "France", you cannot say "j'adore ça". "ça" would refer to an activity as in "Le ski, j'adore ça!"
"La France, j'adore!" sounds very affected.
