    So I'm going to ruin your entire life, but English is the only language that I know of that attempts to preserve pronunciation of words from other languages. Every other language I know of at least attempts to assimilate them in some way and that's an expected consequence since there are sometimes incompatible vowel sounds. You should pronounce it like you would in English rather than a French person would because if you saw my IPA type out there, we don't really have a couple of those sounds in English.

      ive always thought it was strange what words they decide to pronounce in the other language. like i've heard a newscaster say "tour de france" like he's mimicking a french person then 5 minutes later when he's not talking about that event pronounce France like an American would
