I would really appreciate it if anyone out there could help me pronounce any of these names from alexandre Dumas's THE THREE MUSKETEERS... especially Athos, Porthos, Aramis, and D'Artagnan...
For the former three, does one pronounce the "s" at the end of their names? One of the only things I know about French is that one does not usually pronounce the "s" at the end of a word... are these names the exception?
Thank you!
D'Artagnan
Athos
Porthos
Aramis
Planchet
Grimaud
Mousqueton
Bazin
Milady de Winter
Cardinal Richelieu
Comte de Rochefort
Louis XIII of France
M. de Tréville
Constance Bonacieux
Monsieur Bonacieux
Queen Anne of Austria
George Villiers, 1st Duke of Buckingham)

though I appreciate your help, you really should not answer a question if you are confused by it. Please, better the answers community. It is against community guidelines to just mooch points. I really hate to nag, but it gets really annoying. Thank you :)

I've always heard the S pronounced in Athos, Porthos, and Aramis.
D'Artagnan - typically pronounced as Dart an yan. In French the apostrophe signals a slight pause.
Planchet - Is pronounced exactly like it's spelled Plan chet
Grimaud - Gree mode
Mousqueton - Moosk tawn
Bazin - Baz een
Milady de Winter - is also exactly like it's spelled
Cardinal Richelieu - Reesh loo
Comte de Rochefort:
Comte - the beginning is like starting to say the word computer but with a T at the end. COMPT.
de - The second part is kind of hard to describe, I can't think of an equivalent in English maybe someone can help me out with that. It's kind of like say duh, only really short. Where an american would draw out the U sound, in French it's clipped and very short. Ah! When you say your ABC's? Say de like you would pronounce the letter D.
Rochefort - Roesh fort (the first syllable has a long o, like Oprah)
Louis - Loo ee the fourteenth of France
M. de Treville:
M - stands for Madame and is pronounced like it's spelled, the E is silent.
de - same as before
Treville - sorry, I don't know how to do the accent grave (which is the little mark over the E) but it's pronounced
Tray veel
Constance Bonaceiux - Bawn ah sew (?)
Monsier Bonaceiux - Muh see yer Bawn ah sew
(I'm sketchy on the last name for those two)
Queen Anne of Austria is as spelled
George Villiers:
George - Make an almost Z sound for the first G and then pronounce the second G like J.
Villiers - Vill ee yers
Does that help?
