I’m a big fan of trying to learn groups of words (nouns with the corresponding adjective, adverb, etc.) all at once to improve foreign language vocabulary rather than learning a single word here and there. The association involved really works for me when trying to recall vocabulary. So, I’m going to provide you with the body parts in French that have to do with the five senses (sight, hearing, smell, touch, taste – la vue, l’ouïe, l’odorat, le toucher, le goût) as well as the verb, noun and property for the sense.
