If you want to know what ''champeaux'' sounds like in French you 
begin to say the name '' SHAWN '' but you only say the first syllable, don't say the '' N '' and do you know Edgar Allan Poe? Well, pronounce 'poe' like in his name. So it's  '' SHAWNPO''.  I'm 
sorry imamommy, if your husband says it differently.
