Reality check: after finishing the Duolingo French tree I tried to read Tintin. It was quite a wake up call, to say the least.
Since then by my estimate I know roughly about 4000 more French words, and reading lemonde.fr is still a struggle. Doing much better with Tintin though.
Tintin is a fantastic way to learn french. Just wanted to stop by to say I found it super helpful as well :) I remember the first book I finished in french was tintin in russia
