Les CT de 2400 tonnes du type Jaguar is a very useful book, I would recommend it. Les C.T. de 2800 tonnes du type Le Fantasque is also very good, but include only the history and modifications to 1942. Perhaps a second volume was planed, but only a small booklet was released with the title Histoire des croiseurs l�gers (1943-1964).
They include many plans, some of them are the original plans as already offered here by some. The drawings with the modifications are similar to the one in French Destroyers: Torpilleurs d'Escadre and Contre-Torpilleurs,1922-1956, which is also interesting regarding modifications of the ships - but not as detailed as the two French books.
Some helpful information regarding modifications (including World War 2 modifications) of the four surviving ships of the Le Fantasque class plus L�opard and Tigre of the Jaguar class can be found in Les escorteurs francais de l'apr�s-guerre. Tome I: les rescap�s du programme naval. Navires & Histoire Hors-s�rie N� 04.
