Arsène Lupin (series) and Les Trois Mousquetaires are certainly PD /out of copyright and I'm sure I saw the French versions somewhere.

Also try https://www.fadedpage.com/index.php as it's Canadian, so has some French. Also plenty of their books meet the USA expiry rules.

I've read most of Arsène Lupin in English. Very entertaining.

Pocketbook on Android will use whatever speech engine and languages installed. Seems to work well even on Android 5, but not Android 4. Oddly the Android 5 Huawei does more natural speech (in British English) than Android 10 on a Lenovo.

There should also be Jules Verne.

Note there are other gutenberg sites other than the USA gutenberg.org and search on author may work better on Gutenberg or other sites as titles are not always what is commonly known.
