Perhaps Cervantes "Don Quixote"?
Possibly more "Modern" (to the Abbe) French authors and works:
The Letters of Abélard and Héloïse
The Spirit of the Laws by Montesquieu
Gargantua and Pantagruel by Rabelais
Candide by Voltaire
Pensées by Blaise Pascal
possibly some drama - Racine, Molière, Corneille
