I have the English translation from Robin Buss/Penguin Classics, I think that’s the one you want in English.
Idk if the original French is much better, though I’ve heard it uses archaic language so if you’re reading for plot it might not be great. That also reminds me of something I think is really neat:
Dumas originally published the book as a series of volumes in a French newspaper over 2 years!
2 years! Can you imagine? I could barely put the book down when I first read it, that much suspense would kill me.. Also interesting how similar that is to the TV dramas of today.
