I'd assume you'd say it the French way since it means "to go" in French. Hence, ah-lay

Easiest way i've found of remembering the pronunciation is to think of the initials L.A. as in Los Angeles or indeed Lance Armstrong. Take your pick.

not meaning to be obnoxious at all, but the 'de' in tour de france is different from the 'ez' in allez (the z actually makes a difference). allez does mean go, and is pronounced 'ah-lay', as noted by earlier posters.

Allez is the French Verb meaning "To Go" both Aller and Allez are pronounced the same being Ah-lay, or if you want to get more into it and use the Nous form of Aller it would be Allons which is prononced Ah-long.

Actually, to stretch this one out, "allez" is the imperative form of "aller": to go. When yelling it, "you" is implied. "Allez"="(you)Go" mostly in plural, but can be used in a singular and formal manner. I would have to agree with KevinmH9 that the pest pronunciation is "ah-lay" not "uh-lay". This has been a real necessary reply…not. Now, back to work!

BTW, in "allez", the accent is, as with most French words, on the last syllable.
