Feel like that's as correct as we can get, as Americans.
French pronounce the "ou" as is "tour". But you do you.
Bore rhymes with tour.. no?
In most American dialects and some British dialects, "bore" and "tour" rhyme (called the "pour-poor merger"). But in some dialects it may rhyme with "sewer"/"two-er" or have the same sound as in "blue" or even as in "were".
Aha. See, that explains the disconnect. Thank you.
