A web page in "Your Dictionary"
(http://www.yourdictionary.com/languages/romance.html#french) includes
the following:

    http://www-ceril.univ-mlv.fr/Dictionnaires/

It looks like what you're looking for, but I don't see any info about
availability.  (See also http://ladl.univ-mlv.fr/English/engdtb.html,
particularly part A1 of
http://ladl.univ-mlv.fr/English/engdtb.html#ling.)

Another approach would be to use a transducer for French, which can
generate the inflected forms.  This is not a dictionary that you can
scan through, but for certain purposes (parsing for instance), it might
work better.  XRCE (Xerox Research Centre Europe) makes one; see
http://www.rxrc.xerox.com/research/mltt/fsnlp/.  Another one (which I
haven't looked at) is at http://www.eti.pg.gda.pl/~jandac/fsa.html.
There are doubtless others.
