My idea of a good voice is that of Monique Vincens, who narrates a chunk of Proust, but also a bit of "Vera" by Auguste de Villiers de l'Isle-Adam: Vera.
Victoria reads
Le Journal d’une femme de chambre. Her dry voice fits this novel, but not suitable to my taste to other works.
Éric Herson-Macarel has a rich, radio voice, as here in Grand Cahier. Note that there is no sound until 2:30.
Samples of his voice and many others can be heard at Audible
You don't have to buy anything to listen to the samples.
