I tell them all in French.
Luc sounds very much like Luke.
Marcel would be Marr (with a strong trilled 'r' and an 'a' as in 'car') and cell.
Marais would be Mar (as above) plus 'e' as in 'egg'.
Tarascon I say Ta as in 'tah', Ras (with an 'r' that really doesn't exist in english) and Con as in 'Kong'.

So
Luke
Marr-cell
Marr-eh
Tah-rras-kong

Hope that helps.
