Correct pronunciation: ehr-mez. Hermès is French, so the 'h' is silent. While usually in French if a word ends in 's' it is silent, the grave accent on the second 'e' means that the 's' is very softly pronounced.

One question I'm frequently asked is “how do you pronounce Aix-en-Provence?” The full name is pronounced ex-in-pro-vonse, but if you want to fit in with the locals straight-away, you can shorten it to just Aix (ex).

It's between the sound 'ts' and 'ch' and sometimes Qing is rendered as Ching or Ch'ing. There're too many characters of the Qing to identify what you really meant. Exactly, type the character of your Qing to Google. Then, you'll get the accurate pronunciation.

It is hee-HONE. Hee as in hee-haw, hone as in hone an ax(e), rhymes with bone. Being a city has nothing to do with the pronunciation. A "G" followed by an "I" (or an "E") makes a gutteral "H" sound, well it's gutteral in much of Spain, anyway, but it is always an "H" sound, the same as the "J" is.
