I speak some French and I would pronounce in Lahn-Gweel but make the final “l” almost silent.
That sounds right penguin, worked for a company that had a manufacturing plant there !
It seems the most common English pronunciation is “long-gale”. The French pronunciation is hard to explain without IPA /lɔ̃ɡœj/; that final “l” is pronounced like a “y” and the vowel is a front rounded vowel like the one in the French word “boeuf”. It’s similar to the pronunciation of Argenteuil.
With flair, verve, panache and aplomb given it’s location, and a gutteral ‘longer e’.
