I am surprised this has not been contested. Words like haricot with an
"aspirated h" are treated as if they began with a consonant: no elision, no
liaison:
le haricot (not l' aricot) de haricot (not d' haricot)
le heros (not l' heros) etc
and plural
les Halles pronounced /le 'al)
les haricots pronounced /le ariko/
