Paris Pronounciation guide
Posted: Sun July 6, 2008 01:43 PM UTC
Is there a site with audio files which can help me pronounce the tourist locations, roads and station names correctly and also with a few general sentences.

Thanks
FraMauro

I agree, this is a great site and since my wife and I will be in Paris exactly 12 weeks from Thursday the 12 week course is just perfect. Thanks!!

Hi. Thanks for the websites. I have already signed up for the 12 wks. course. I had also downloaded the French Tutorial and begun working on it. They don't, however, have specific places at either of these sites. Champs-elysees was the only one. Nothing on Sacre coeur, jardin des tuileries, chatelet, rue moufetard etc.

No, but the general rules of French pronunciation you will be taught apply to those names. So you will be able to say them with confidence.
