What accent does Simon have? I thought his “enchanté” and “française” sounded like “ench-in-té” and “fr-in-çaise”, and his “viens” sounded like “viennent”.

Hi Brian,
Simon says he is from Marseille, so he has 'un accent du Midi' for sure.
The pronunciation is very different from that of the north of France and they sometimes use different words too. Take a look at this page which is very good in highlighting the differences.
