des livres
A mix of readings about France – in English – and of French classics – in French – to enhance your learning experience. Whether you read to pass an exam, or for pleasure, I recommend this list, which I compiled over the years, with the complicity of all of my students, whom I thank warmly here. Feel free to leave your question or you comment if you’ve read a book.
