Choose this endpoint when you need to discover or retrieve free, legally downloadable French-language books with multiple format options (epub, txt, html, scans) sourced from trusted public-domain repositories. It is ideal when the user specifically needs French content, wants popularity-ranked results, or needs daily-verified download links rather than a general book search.

## Known failure modes

- No results returned if search keywords match no French titles or authors
- Pagination out of range returns empty list
- Downstream source (Project Gutenberg / Internet Archive) temporarily unavailable causing stale or missing data
- Query terms in non-French script may yield no matches
