I need to download a long roman/novel in .txt format as a reference so that I can analyze it for some kinda of concordance and finding phrases that I can use as examples.

By this way I can improve my skill in French grammar and discover the true application of words in sentences…

    1) These resources exist more in epub and pdf formats than in txt format. 2) IMHO this is more a question of how to use Google than an actual question about the french language.

The obvious answer is the Gutenberg project, with thousands books in french.

If you want to analyze french texts other than novels, an option is to extract text from french news with the Readability service.
