War and Peace, it is in Mobileread's Patricia Clark Memorial Library, and the French passages have translated footnotes:

Re the translators:
Tolstoy believed that "Better translators, both for knowledge of the two languages and for penetration into the very meaning of the matter translated, could not be invented."
