What is the easiest way to find the definition of a French word in English?

I imagine that there may be some discrepancies on the precise meaning of certain words in French. Subtleties may exist that would only be found in an actual French dictionary.

Of course I could take a French/English dictionary, and find the correct word in French, and look that word up in a separate French dictionary, and attempt to find an accurate translation of that definition, but is (a) there a way that is better, or (b) no need since a French/English dictionary does exactly what I am trying to accomplish…(provides a precise “French” definition of a word).
