I uploaded some dual-language texts onto my Google Drive. These are all public domain works that folks shared on the old HTLAL forum. Any of these would be a good place to start!
Françoise Sagan - Bonjour tristesse
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry - Vol de nuit
André Gide -L'immoraliste
Alain-Fournier - Le grand Meaulnes
Marguerite Yourcenar -Mémoires d'Hadrien
Listening to Proust is like listening to a favorite song. Without the music of the song, it would read rather dry. With the sound of a good voice, Proust is pleasant listening.
I agree with your recommendations for a start, except that I have not read Gide or Yourcenar.
