France's 'cultural canon' includes a range of classic novels which most French people will have read (or watched the movie, or at least heard of) and which are therefore often referenced. Aurore Laborie lists the must-reads. First the caveat, there isn't an official list that makes up the French cultural canon when it comes to literature - but there are various lists of the most famous, many of which are on the school syllabus.
