Who translated this?

I'm reading Italo Calvino's If on a winter's night a traveler. Yes, it's that novel where every chapter is the first chapter of a book. It was written in Italian and then translated to other languages. For some reason, the English translation I'm reading still feels stronger like if it should be a Latin language. Where can I find a French version? I think I have asked a local bookshop before, but they didn't have it.
