Classic French Tales
Fairy tales have been used for centuries to build up children’s vocabulary and teach French verb tenses, pronouns, linking words…
Here is my own lively rendition of these eight very famous French tales. I tell them here using relatively simple French, in a very lively way, the same way I told them to my young daughter, the same way my mother told them to me. Each tale comes with a French transcript and English translation.
Fairy Tales are a fun and enticing way to practice French for children and adults alike!

As Ms. Camille said, listening, sometimes reading along with the recording is invaluable to learning French. I am a teenager who is currently in the A2-B1 level and I found that although these stories had unique words, they really got me used to hearing French, especially in such an engaging manner. I could not be more happy that they released it for free, because I would not have otherwise been able to access this material. If you are thinking of experiencing classic storytelling (in French), definitely download it for free if you can. It is helpful to listen to in the morning, right before bed, or even while taking notes on new phrases and pronounciations… which is really helpful, as French is my fifth language and when there are all these language structures jumbled in my head, someone like Ms. Camille is here to save the day! Thank you so much for this material… I hope some more free content might be available sometime :)

I love the style of all products from frenchtoday. I read every email that comes through. It is so great to get the email in French, attempt to translate for myself and then see the english translation for checking and self-correction.
I love all the material on the website. The style of teaching is concise, clear and so very helpful.
I am thrilled to have stumbled across frenchtoday and highly recommend the resources available. Keep up great work, material and tips!

This book includes eight fairy tales, including Little Red Riding Hood and The Three Little Pigs. Camille reads each story fairly slowly in a very clear voice, making them very easy to understand. If you want to, you can follow the text in the app – which gives a section of French text followed by the English translation. The book is a great way of improving both your vocabulary and your understanding of spoken French.

Love hearing these Classic French tales narrated by Camille! Also appreciate the vast content and instruction provided by Camille on French Today’s social media. Hope to meet her someday – when Americans are allowed in France again – to express my appreciation in person!

I discovered by chance the homepage „frenchtoday“. Camille has a very pleasant voice, speaks clearly and paraphrases difficult words or sentences with simple words. This appropriate information makes the content of a text easy to understand without using a dictionary. So I’ve downloaded your app to hear your audiobooks. I enjoy to get your e-mails which all the information, French vocabulary, tips, lessons and practice. Additionally I get practice with an other foreign language for me: „English“.

Whoever thought that the Three Little Pigs (Les Trois Petit Cochons) could be such a hit! Along with other classics the crystal clear recordings, clear texts and useful translations make listening to these age old stories a delightful way to learn. Super for enhancing pronunciation and expanding vocabulary. Many thanks.

I have enjoyed the fairy tales in French immensely during “le confinement” here in the USA. Thank-you for making them available “gratuit.”

I was having technical difficulties and about to give up but the technical support I received from Olivier was outstanding. He did everything beyond expectation to get me up and running and able to access the Classic French Tales. Merci Beaucoup!
