Well, that IS the correct French pronunciation! How do we pronounce 'Paris' 
or "Versailles'??

It is always amusing when an air personality enters a market and 
mis-pronounces local place-names. At X-Star's station in Rogers City, 
Michigan, with many Polish and Indigenous place names, there was a 
pronunciation guide, and it was absolutely necessary.
