It's beautiful. I was surprised to learn it's pronounced ruh-NEER, just as Montpelier, Montana is said by locals not momp-uhl-YAY but MOUNT-PAYL-yer and Pierre, South Dakota is said PEER.
If on the off chance I have a reason to mention Mount Rainier I will now not embarrass myself by using the French pronunciation. Thanks Marco. BTW my son lives on Pierre St. in Windsor. Locals call it Peery.
