"Chauffer" is a French word, meaning "to heat." If you're asking about its pronunciation, perhaps another person here can help. I'll assume you meant "chauffeur."

The word "chauffeur" has two syllables, and in American English it is more common to accent the first one: ˈʃoʊfər (shoh-fer). However, many people accent the second syllable, and it is perfectly acceptable to do so: ʃoʊˈfɜr (shoh-fur).

By the way, "chauffeur" comes from "chauffer" and reflects the historical use of steam in locomotion.
