Pronounced "twaa-le der zhoo-ee"
If you are interested, le Musée de la Toile de Jouy is housed in the Château de l'Eglantine in Jouy-en-Josas (78) (I live quite near it) and their website is in link.
"Zhoo-ee" is the pronunciation of the French word "Jouy."Specifically, the French word is part of the name of a commune (Jouy-en-Josas) in the Yvelines department of north-central France. The commune is famous for its print, which appropriately is called "toile de Jouy." Additionally, the name also may refer to a commune in Yonne department, also in north-central France.
I'm French and I must say it's not the easiest word to pronounce for an English speaker, but I would say it resembles: "too-al de joo-ee".
It is pronounced "zhwee-ahn-zhoh-zah" with a soft "zh" sound at the beginning and "zah" rhyming with "spa."
Toile de Jouy originated in France in the late 1700s. In the French language, the phrase literally means "cloth from Jouy-en-Josas", a town of north-central France
