Late 19th/early 20th century French sci-fi/pulp fiction is great fun. Charles Derennes's The People of the Pole (1907) is a sci-fi/adventure and a lost world tale, a genre I love. This one adds some original twists.
It's the tale of a voyage to the North Pole by airship. A lost world of dinosaurs is discovered there but the twist is that the dinosaurs kept on evolving.

Jules Lermina’s Panic in Paris was published in 1913. It’s a French scientific romance.
Translator Brian Stableford describes it as being closer in feel to 1950s Japanese monster movies than to the more sober scientific romances of Lermina’s contemporaries. In fact it's a madcap tongue-in-cheek romp. There are even dinosaurs in 19th century Paris.
