    1. pronunciation of Le Havre
    2. Ernie and List, In USA, Havre it would be rhyhm with Favre's last name (MY great football hero!) The sound of the traditional "H", plus "AHH", then traditional "V" sound, with a very teeny sound of an "RRR" at the end. The "R" is almost not heard. The Le ryhms with the l-e in "Let". Now overseas, we will have to hear from some others. PS> Also you glide over the LEH in LeHavre so it sounds almost like one syllable. Ending e is silent.
