pont, fenêtre, chapelle(capel) .

I thought the Welsh was 'fenster', but it's certainly from the same root.

In Welsh the word is - ffenestr or ffenest (as the last syllable is not often pronounced now). In French 'ê' means that originally an 's' is the following letter - it comes directly from Norman French. Castell (from castel) - eglwys (église).
