Frenchboys.net is a Les Misérables fansite and web host for fan pages and projects.
frenchboys.net exists to host websites pertaining to Victor Hugo's Les Miserables. Les Mis is technically not about FrenchBoys. It's technically about a rather old French man with a troubled past. But it contains pages upon pages of FrenchBoys, and damned if they don't steal the show.[1]
The Frenchboys forums, Le Nouveau Musain, were opened in August 2002.[2]
