Disque flottant de Tenser

A few more notes about the French translation of the Blue Book:
The translation is coverless, 32 pages, and titled Donjons et Dragons on the top of the first page. After checking more closely, I determined the translation was made from the 2nd edition (Nov 1978) rather than the 3rd edition (Dec 1979) of the Blue Book. The game company that made the translation was Jeux Descartes ("Descartes Games"), founded in 1977-78 and continuing until 2005. See here (English) and here (French, translated via Google Translate). Their game shops were called Descartes or Descartes Relais. The translation was provided only in Parisian shops. The translated Blue Book was also placed in Moldvay Basic Sets until the translated Moldvay set was available. Sannois, a city outside Paris, is where the translation was printed.

Information was gathered from the following sources:
Holmes was translated into French! (OD&D74 Discussion forums)
French Basic Set (Acaeum forums) This also has nice photos of French Moldvay & Mentzer Sets.
Questions boites Holmes (Le Donjon du Dragon; in French, translated via Google Translate)

Thanks to snorri, kabuki, le Rahib and lookiwookie.

I've made a page on the website for all of this information.
