0 You can pronounce 'Louvre' to make it rhyme with 'move'. You can also add an 'r' at the end, which can even be guttural (produced in the throat) if you want to say it the French way. If you feel up to it, it wouldn't be wrong to add a very short schwa (the vowel sound in 'of') after the 'r'.02br

Neither. It is pronounced loo-vr. The r is a European rolling r. Many people mistakenly say loov, but that is not correct. The e is silent, but the r isn't.
