Well, listen to Piaf singing and you'll have a perfect example of the typical Parisian dialect ;))) . Her "r"s are pure uvular trills :) .

[M\] in X-SAMPA, a strange sign called "turned m with long right leg" in IPA. Since [w] is a voiced labiovelar approximant, as you can guess [M\] is basically [w] without the labial component :)) . Go to http://www.ling.hf.ntnu.no/ipa/full/ to find it in the table of pulmonic consonants (and click on it to hear it! ;)) ).
