Without joking, yes the S is silent so if we try to think with English language accent it could be written Pah-ree. Pah without pronouncing the H, more like how you say papa.
And RI is, well yeah, ree. But with a French R, the one that is difficult to master as this sound does not exist in English.
The s being silent is one thing but I find English speakers mostly struggle with getting the vowels and combinations anywhere close, even here I read this “pah” and I’m like “no way even 1/10th of them get that A right”, or indeed the “ri”.
French here, we say Paris.
You’re welcome guys, call me anytime for more French pronunciation.

Is there a woosh community?
I can confirm, we say Paris.
this makes me wonder if deaf people who read the captions on TV understand accents/pronunciation or if they just smile-and-nod
