Mar-say
It's pronounced Mar-say, should I write. Same pronounciation in English, I guess.
Luck.

"Mar-say"
Spelling needs checking - It should have an "s" on the end but most English-speakers who have learned a smattering of French would know not to sound the final "s" however I may stand to be corrected here, so it is pronounced the same as in French "Mar-say".

: pas de "s" à la fin, même si c'est une erreur fréquente (et pas que chez les étrangers !)
