It's french in origin, and if you want to pronounce it as a french person would, then it's "Lah Fye-ett"

Welp, I live there and we pronounce it
Law fee et
or
Lay fay et
At least thats how the towns pronounced, I bet the General La Fayette for which it is named after is pronounced "Law fy et"

It is funny, as in our country we used to have a Grand Master called La Fayette, but we call him La Vallette.
Our capital city named after him (Valletta).
