The French drain is a pipe with holes in it that go horizontal. Then you cover it with a geotextile to keep mud & silt out. It gets buried at the level you want to drain water away - the bottom of the basement. Hence all the digging Mattias mentioned. The drain runs on a slight downward slope until it hits a slope and goes aboveground.
So there's no worry about aesthetics ;-) A drywell would be a possibility too but pricier.
