My French Quest 
Very cool! Where is this?
Hi Alison, it is part of the BNF collection. You can download the APP: BNF GALLICA. It has EVERYTHING!!!
Ooh, I wish my French was a good as yours. Would love to breeze through this text. Thank you!
Hi Alison, you are right- the traditional French is much harder to read!
Yes. That is cool. Not too long ago, I came across some original notes (online of course) from Victor Hugo’s Notre Dame de Paris.
What a treasure!
Shame my French is very poor, really enjoyed this book
Thank you for following my blog. I look forward to getting to know your writing. Even with strong French skills, this manuscript is hard to decipher! My goal is to compare this with the published edition to see if Verne’s changes were stylistic or thematic. So fun!
Thanks for following back, I’m afraid my writing is a little boring of late, lol with everything that is going on we aren’t getting up to anything exciting, I tend to do more at the weekend and we Vlog our fun,
I get the feeling a lot of Verne’s writing gets also lost in translation, I will need more than a crash course in French to ever read the originals
