We present a new lexicographic enterprise that aims at producing a "French Lexical Network" or "FLN". We begin by introducing the project as such and then proceed with a characterization of the FLN: the FLN as a generic lexical model, its network structure and the different types of lexical entities it models. Finally, we focus on two aspects of our lexicographic methodology: the incremental identification of the FLN's wordlist and our editing tool.
