Hey Txanne (or anybody else who would know):

You teach french, right? Do you know of any websites that offer free, download-able audio books in french?

Nope. Never occurred to me to look! Free Gutenberg-Project-esque texts here:

and also a few here:

That was quick! Thanks! I'll check them out once I get home and can actually download stuff.

I took a few years of french in high school, and I have a theory that listening to stories that I know the english version inside-out in french might help me remember some of the language.

I think you're right. I tell my students to watch their favorite DVDs with the French language track on and the subtitles off.

That's a good idea too. I'll give it a try sometime.
