Feb. 15 -- Ask Sting what his favorite romantic place is, and the pop star has a romantic response: It is the company, not the spot on the map, that counts most.

"I think the most romantic place really is where I would be with my wife that could be anywhere," said Sting , who is married to actress Trudi Styler.

Unlike most of us, celebrities have the money and ability to travel wherever they want. So reporter Jancee Dunn of Us magazine, a partner of ABCNEWS' Good Morning America, asked a slew of celebs where they go for romance.

Jennifer Garner, star of the ABC-TV show Alias, has a special place in her heart for the City of Lights.

"My favorite romantic place would have to be Paris," Garner said. "My husband took me to Paris three and a half years ago, when we were first dating. We had just been [going out] a few months and he said I want to take you away, and he took me to Paris out of the blue and it was enchanted, it was exactly what it should be."

Sex and Which City?

The cast of HBO hit Sex and the City has some unique ideas about romance. Kristen Davis, who plays the prim Charlotte, says a recent solo journey that she spent camping in the wild was very romantic.

"I went to Africa last year and I stayed in a tent on the Serengeti. I think that's the most romantic place I've ever been," said Davis. "I was alone."

John Corbett likes a little precipitation at his romantic spot.

"It's really just a rainy afternoon in my hometown of Seattle with somebody special," said John Corbett, whose character, Aidan Shaw, recently split with Sarah Jessica Parker's Carrie.

Cynthia Nixon, aka Miranda, thinks New York's most famous park is unbeatable for romance.

"I would say the most romantic place I know is when you drive through Central Park, when you do the whole ring of the park, particularly when there's snow on the ground," said Nixon. "To me when it's quiet and snowy it's just so, so beautiful."

The park, the site of many a marriage proposal, also won the heart of Bruce Willis.
