How do you pronounce the French City name 'Grenoble'?

Having debate on how to pronounce. Please make as obvious as possible to understand what you are trying to say!

How do you pronounce the French City name 'Grenoble'?
Grun-o- bleu. stress on the 'o'. The 'r' is the slightly throaty French 'r'.
Reply:GREN OH BUL
Reply:gruh-nob-l





(Gruh as in grunt).





Stress on the "nob-l", which is pronounced almost like "nobble", only as one syllable.
Reply:It's pronounced.........Gre-knob (as in doorknob)
Reply:You have to pronounce in that way:


"Gre- = the 'e' like in 'shirt'


-n貌 = (marqued) the 'o' like in 'short'


-ble = don't pronounce the 'e' and instead 'bl' like in bl(ue).


I speak French very often.
