The Internet Public Library provides free access to world wide newspapers
(some offer searchable access to archives). Note the IPL website (
http://www.ipl.org or http://ipl2.org ) is no longer being updated but most
of the links I tested for the newspapers still work.

Here is the direct link to the newspapers from France

Some of the newspapers from Belgium are also in French

Good morning,

I've been working with our amazing new French teacher, and he wants his
students to research in French. I showed him how the Cengage products are
translatable, but he explained that the translations were poor. "Google
Translate in a tux," is how he described the them.

Are there better research tools in French and Spanish you'd recommend?
Thank you?
