About DoudouFrench

Learning French could be more exciting

Mountains of grammar books, verb conjugations galore, and the nagging question: "What on earth can I actually read?"

Facing a sea of uninspiring options, I dreamt of stories that would transport me to France, filled with life, humor, and the unique cultural nuances I craved.

It's only after I moved to France and stumbled upon a treasure trove of hidden gems – French books unknown or little to most non-French speakers. French novels widely read and recommended by school teachers in France are not always known unless you are actively in contact with French culture. 

That's why I created "DoudouFrench", and I invite you to :

  • Discover hidden gems:Dive into enchanting stories, poems, and even graphic novels, handpicked from the lesser-known corners of French literature. From contemporary social commentary to historical sagas and quirky children's tales, there's something for everyone!
  • Learn culture the fun way: Go beyond the tourist brochures. Each book recommendation comes sprinkled with my own insights as a learner experiencing French life firsthand. Unravel humor, traditions, and cultural references that might otherwise go unnoticed.

The books recommended here are listed on Amazon Kindle and Audible:
