Et pas seulement à cause du sourire de la Joconde· Art from Public Collections http://www.culture.gouv.fr/documentation/ joconde/pres.htm Site formidable qui donne accès à toutes les oeuvres d'art dans les collections publiques françaises qui sont dans le domaine public (artiste mort depuis 70 ans). 135 000 þuvres, 150 000 artistes !.

LiTGloss http://wings.buffalo.edu/litgloss/list-of-texts/shtml The LiTgloss project is a collection of texts written in languages other than English. The texts are of literary, cultural, or historical interest to speakers of English, and likely (we think) to be better appreciated if read in the original language. Our goal is to make them accessible by providing semantic and syntactical help, and to provide supplementary materials which help the students see the text in its literary, artistic, historical, cultural context. French texts available from Balzac through Flaubert and Verlain to de Gaulle.
