Les Aventures du Saint
Just in case some folks on here haven't discovered it can I point you to the rather splendid website at http://www.lofficier.com/saint.html.
It's an illustrated history of the Saint's French adventures and has just been updated with an excellent section on the French version of The Saint Magazine.

Re: Les Aventures du Saint
And this is how Jean-Marc put it:
- Four new pages are now devoted to the French edition of LE SAINT DETECTIVE MAGAZINE which feature all 154 issues and index all the Leslie Charteris et al. stories published therein (with the same information then added to the Bibliography page), with more cover scans to come.
- It turns out that there were FOUR stories published in LSDM not collected in book form: (i) The Noble Sportsman, (ii) Le Saint et les Prospecteurs, a Michel-Tyl adaptation of a NYHT strip, (iii) Amours,
Gadgets et Colonel, of which nothing is known at this time, and (iv) The Power Artist, a Fleming Lee collaboration, which was, however, later retranslated in the Livre de Poche Saint on TV collection. In
particular, (ii) and (iii) are the first time these stories have come to the attention of Saint fans everywhere!
- It also turns out that the Charteris original The Uncritical Publisher was never translated after all, although there is a 1945 French-Canadian edition of The Saint Intervenes.
- Our Cover Gallery Page 7 now includes additional covers of rare 1950s Saint reprints, the Fayard "Omnibus" volumes, and the Lefrancq reprints of the mid-1990s.
- Finally, fans of French cover artist Bernad will enjoy additional cover scans of the Fayard NERO WOLFE and TOFF series.

Re: Les Aventures du Saint
Well said Hoppy
Jean-Marc's site was always top notch and a great point of reference, given that so many of the original French stories are adapted from Charteris plots - the addition of information on Le Saint Detective Magazine is a real bonus.
I don't know why the link posted by Hoppy doesn't work, but please use this one.
