'Fool's gold' is an English equivalent of 'L'or des fous'. As is the case with the English phrase, the French phrase is a nickname for 'pyrite' or 'iron pyrite'.
The definite article 'l'* means 'the'. The masculine noun 'or' means 'gold'. The word 'des' combines the preposition 'de' with the plural definite article 'les' to mean 'of, from the'. The masculine adjective/noun 'fous' means 'mad, crazy people'.
All together, they're pronounced 'lohr deh foo'.
*The masculine singular definite article actually is 'le'. But the vowel 'e' drops before a noun that begins with a vowel. The temporary nature of that drop is indicated by an apostrophe: 'l'or.
