There are a couple that change their spelling - Marseille in English is written with an 's' at the end, Lyon is another. Paris and Reims are pronounced differently in English as are Calais (which in the Middle Ages was pronounced as Callis) and Boulogne. In Belgium, Bruxelles becomes Brussels in English.
