I know my 89 y.o. father said when they landed there in 1944, the American pronunciation was Le "Harve", sort of the same way we pronounce the football player's name Brett "Farve" even tho it's spelled Favre. I will let the Francophiles set you straight, but what I would suggest pronouncing it FAHVr, w/ a very muted r at the end.
