So I'm reading Around the World in 80 Days again, and I thought the French speakers in the audience could help with this one...


PNQ: If you're speaking with a French accent, how do you pronounce "Passepartout"?


I doubt it's just "passport out" as is implied in the novel. But is it "pass e par two" or "pah say par two" or what?
