How do you pronouce "Roubaix"

[violette]

Violette, you're French, you tell us (I'm French, too, but English is my first language). Rou-bay with a gutteral R at the beginning if you can do that, some people can't.

From the French side, I would pronouce it "RRRou-bè" like the "e" in "seven".

+1 (meaning: the first e in "seven").

The X is not pronounced.
